And it is pouring at the WACA! All of a sudden and the players run for shelter. This would be a tragedy for the Stars if it's washed out. Remember we need five overs for a game. We'll keep you up to date with the weather.

Update 7.15pm local time :The rain is still coming down here. We need five overs to constitute a match and we've got about 45 minutes to get them in. Stay tuned for more updates

So a strange finish to this game, after the rain delay, the target was revised to 6! and the game was over!

Despite the finish, the Stars absolutely deserved to win the game after a dominant display from Man of the Match Lasith Malinga - 6 for 7 off 4 overs. A stunning bowling spell from one of the most dangerous quicks in the world.

Thanks for your company tonight, good night.
