1.20 pm Impressive win for the Strikers, especially considering they did it without Rashid Khan. They churned through their innings without really looking like they were setting an imposing total and then their bowlers won them the game in the first 7 overs making it 37 for 4 and Stars struggled to get any momentum going.
That's it for coverage from this match. Come back later tonight for the second half of today's BBL doubleheader. I'm Peter Della Penna, take care!
