Adelaide Strikers vs Sydney Thunder, 8th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

So, that's it from our side. Perth Scorchers will host Hobart Hurricanes tomorrow. Do join us for that contest. Till then, goodbye and cheers!

Matthew Short | Hero of the Match: Unbelievable game. Hose batted extremely well today. I am so happy. With the interruption that we had in the past, to be able to win this game was fantastic for us. We love the crowd here. They are always loud and come out to support us. We love every bit of playing at the Adelaide Oval. The pitch is quite batter-friendly, and we always love batting here.

22:03 Local Time, 11:33 GMT, 17:03 IST: That was a fast-paced game and Strikers have done really well to chase down 200. It was a conducive pitch for strokeplay. Boundaries and sixes rained tonight and more than 400 runs were scored. The duo of Matthew Short and D Arcy Short set up the tone for the home side in the run-chase. Both mixed caution with aggression to perfection and stayed afloat with the asking rate. After the skipper departed, the Thunder pulled things back a bit. D Arcy also fell to a superb yorker from Sams. Lynn couldn't get going and perished. But, Hose was cool as a cucumber and played some inventive shots to keep his side on the front foot. And, he struck a brilliant six to take his side home with two balls to spare. Stay tuned for the Hero of the Match...

Zaman Khan to Adam Hose, SIX, what a strike! Strikers win a close game and the crowd is going bonkers!

Zaman Khan to Weatherald, out Weatherald Run Out!! This is poor cricket from Weatherald! Pitched up ball on middle, Weatherald goes for a drive and gets an inside edge onto the pads. The ball rolls besides the pitch on the off-side and the batters take off. Zaman Khan attacks the ball, picks it up as Weatherald is ambling across towards the crease. He hits the bull's eye!
