Scorer: @Thilak_Rama | Commentator: Matt Roller

That's all from our BBL coverage tonight - join us tomorrow for the Melbourne Derby, but until then, this is Matt Roller signing off on behalf of Thilak Rama.

"It was a very good win for the boys in a big game for us," Matt Gilkes - who has pipped Hasnain to the player-of-the-match award - tells Fox. "[Using my feet against spin] That's something I've been working on quite a lot, I've not been great against spin so I've been working really hard on it. I feel like I've thrown my wicket away over the last couple of games so I was trying to play smart cricket shots. [Mood in the camp?] There's been a lot of disruption over the last three or four days but Greeny and TB [Bayliss] have been really happy with how we've put that to one side. TB has been great, he keeps things so simple and gives us freedom to go out there and express ourselves. He's been really good, especially for us batters up top."

Back-to-back wins against the Strikers for the Thunder despite their issues with Covid. Set up by Gilkes' 93 but Hasnain was the star, taking three wickets in four balls in his first over on BBL debut. The Thunder go third, overtaking the Hurricanes, while the Strikers are stuck in seventh and have still only won one game this season.

Green to Nielsen, OUT, wide outside off, looks to go big over the off side. Cutting races in from long-off and dives forward, sliding on his knees, and clings onto it, scooping it up just before it hits the turf! Great catch to finish a strong team performance from the Thunder

HJ Nielsen c Cutting b Green 39 (55m 31b 4x4 1x6) SR: 125.80

Green to finish off.

Mahmood to Fawad Ahmed, FOUR, drills the yorker down the ground for four! 88mph/142kph, maybe a fraction short of yorker length but not at all far off, and Fawad thumps him past mid-off!

Mahmood to Fawad Ahmed, no run, reverse-swinging yorker from Mahmood in the channel outside off stump. Beats Fawad on the outside edge as he prods forward

Fawad Ahmed strides out at No. 11.

Mahmood to Siddle, OUT, knocks him over! Perfect leg-stump yorker from Mahmood at 88mph/141kph, far too good for Siddle. Pegs back the stumps and the Thunder are closing in on another impressive win

Mahmood to Siddle, FOUR, back of a length, Siddle throws the kitchen sink at it and top-edges it over Billings for a one-bounce four! Uses the pace on the ball to his advantage

Mahmood to Siddle, no run, on a length, Siddle backs away looking to flay one through the off side but can't lay bat on ball. Can't have missed off stump by much!
