DG: That’s the end of the game and the Strikers have won this contest pretty comfortably in the end. 188 looked like a stiff target and it certainly was too much for the Hurricanes who faltered in their chase and lost the match by 22 runs. With that win, the team from Hobart have been eliminated from the Big Bash League competition and Adelaide reached the knockout stage of this coveted tournament.
Chasing 188, Hurricanes got off to a worse possible start, losing star batter Ben McDermott for just 6 on the board. McDermott has been the star performer for the Hurricanes this season and his early wicket jolted the chasing team. It’s as if they never recovered from that loss. Mathew Wade came in at number three and he departed for just 7.
With two wickets down and their backs against the walls, D’Arcy Short and Caleb Jewell steadied the sinking ship of their side. The duo added 39 runs for the third wicket and gave a ray of hope to their side. Once Jewell went back to the hut, things turned from bad to worse for the Hurricanes.
Short played a lone hand and while he was out in the middle, there were some nervy faces in the opposition camp. He played an entertaining knock of 56 and had to throw his wicket away in pursuit of some quick runs. Once the southpaw went back, the wicket-gates opened and the Strikers ran through the middle and lower order with utmost ease. Other than Short, no one quite stood their ground and as a result the Hurricanes are out of the tournament.
