9.20pm: We're done for this game, but Big Bash action is not done for today. Hop over to the Heat vs Stars game that's happening at the Gabba. Meanwhile, courstey of our stats whiz Sampath: Ben McDermott becomes the seventh player to score multiple centuries in the BBL. His first 100 was scored in January 2017, also while chasing. First player with two centuries in BBL chases.
9.15pm: Incredible knock by Ben McDermott. Took on all the bowlers and took them to the cleaners. Most impressive for me was how he even took down Rashid Khan. The Hurricanes have romped to victory on the back of his 110* off just 60 balls. Strikers would have thought they had a defendable total - but the way McDermott was going, even 200 might not have been enough. Pretty much a one-man batting show by Hurricanes but what a show and what a man it was.
Siddharth: "McDermott doing a Head, and just a few days short of New Year's Eve."
Only 13 needed off 12 balls for victory, and Ben McDermott is on 98.
