yes he can! What a run-chase this has been! What an innings this has been! Matthew Short, take a bow! A hundred to propel his side to the highest-ever run-chase in BBL history Half-volley outside off stump. Short leans into the drive beautifully and crunches it past extra cover to seal the deal and snap the Strikers' losing streak! Cometh the hour, cometh the Strikers skipper!

10:15pm Right. That will be that from us. It might take a lot longer for this game to sink in but anyway, this was another illustration of how anything and everything is possible in this sport and especially, this format. The action, though, does not stop in the BBL. The Melbourne Stars will take on the Sydney Sixers tomorrow in what promises to be another humdinger. Until then, this is me (Shashwat) signing off on behalf of M Venkat Raghav. Goodbye, and take care!
10:05pm Phew, I am, quite frankly, lost for words. The Strikers seemed down and out at the half-way mark, especially after they allowed the Hurricanes to post their highest-ever T20 score. But never say never in cricket, and that is exactly what the Strikers did. Short starred with the bat, scoring a sumptuous century and was supported by Lynn, who popped up with a 29-ball 64 too. Hose also played his part with a 22-ball 38, although there is no denying that Short was the star of the show.
As for the Hurricanes, they will be ruing the number of extras they conceded. They bowled as many as 13 wides and in a game of fine margins, that came back to haunt them. Their bowlers did not execute their plans well enough either, almost always allowing the Strikers an opportunity to break the shackles. The best they can perhaps do is look at this as a bad day at the office, although it will be tough to recover from such a defeat.
4 off 4 now. Can Short finish it off with one blow? He only requires 4 runs for a hundred

another high full toss at the batter. de Grandhomme is taken aback by it and clogs it into the leg side. Called a No ball by the umpire, and this has gone from bad to worse for Faheem!

David to Hose, OUT
that looks plumb! Very full delivery darted into the batter at the stumps. Hose has a sweep at it but picks a very full delivery to do so. Makes no contact and the ball smashes his pads right in front of middle and off stump. The umpire raises his finger, and Hose does not even bother with the review!
