Scorer: Binoy George | Commentator: Ekanth

A long day of cricket today. Australia hosting three games, the Australia-Pakistan Test and two BBL games now. The South Africa India Test at Cape Town is doing things that's beyond belief. Go check it out.

Dan: "5/24 off 4 in a T20 is surely equivalent to a batsmen scoring 100 off 50. Evans deserves the nod but Morris hard done by" That's what Evans said too but that innings turning the game in the Surge can't be too far off either.

Laurie Evans, POTM I'm surprised I'm stood here after Lance's five-for. Was incredible to do it in front of 42000. Lance is an amazing talent, no surprise why an amazing franchise is producing talent like that. We expect to win here, we are going for three which'll be lovely but are taking it day by day.

9:34pm 13 for 4 in the last three overs but that wicket of Short with 58 needed off 25 was when the game was sealed. It was always gonna be a tough chase but Short, with brief support from Lynn and Kelly, kept Strikers in the game. But the equation was always in Scorchers' favour for scoreboard-pressure application. Morris came in to fire, ice and perform all the classic operations to dismantle the chase. Lots of top edged pulls and scoops and outfield catches to finish things off. Gotta say, it was a great T20 wicket.
