Sydney Thunder advance winning by 57 runs. They move on to take on the Adelaide Strikers in the Knockout in Adelaide on Saturday. The Hurricanes season ends and George Bailey's career ends with it. What a great career it has been. But the Thunder out-planned and out-executed the Hurricanes. They batted superbly with Khawaja and Hales setting the tone. Jono Cook is the Player of the Match with a career-best performance taking 4 for 21. Cook: "Very happy with getting Short and Wade. They're world class. Just happy that the plans came off. Adelaide is a daunting place to play. But we've played there on New Year's Eve and handled that. We have the momentum."

Great win for the Thunder. Thanks for company from Bellerive Oval. Join us tomorrow night for the Qualifier between the Melbourne Stars and the Sydney Sixers.

Sooryanarayanan: "George Bailey will always be the crisis man for whichever team he played for. Even last year when Finch and Australia were struggling before the India tour, he looked like one guy who could come in as captain and finisher. Highly underrated player and a greater bloke. Congrats on a career you can be proud of George! "
