Glenn Maxwell

22:35 Local Time, 11:35 GMT, 17:05 IST: After three successive loses, the Stars have bounced back in emphatic fashion, and have registered their 4th win on the bounce. Chasing 98 in a 14-over contest was always going to be a coast and the Stars had Rogers leading from the front, with a 34-ball 46, with Glenn Maxwell helping himself to a 15-ball unbeaten 32. But it was the bowlers who set this game up with a sparkling show - Almost everyone bar Stoinis (who bowled one over) got into the wickets column and they never let the Gades make a move. Four batters got past double digits, but but they were choked by Glenn Maxwell, the Player of the Match, who bowled 3 cheap overs for just 8 runs. The Stars have now moved up a slot in the table and are placed 3rd with 8 points, although they've played a game more than Heat and Sixers, who will be up against each other tomorrow. It's a double-header day tomorrow and we'll have a lot of fun as the BBL moves on. Do join us for all the action. For now, cheers and bye..
