and another six to finish it! Short and pulled over deep midwicket...that is a thrashing to match all thrashings
Heat vs Strikers, 40th Match at Adelaide, BBL, Jan 17 2020 - Match Result
Strikers won by 10 wickets (with 55 balls remaining)
Adelaide Strikers win by 10 wickets with 55 balls to spare. That;s even more one sided that the match between the same teams at the Gabba. Phil Salt put the finishing touches on an outstanding performance from the home side with 67 off 38 balls. It was all set up by the bowlers, but this was an awful day for the Heat and the net run-rate will have taken a hit in the process (while the Strikers will have got a boost). Here are the biggest margins of victory/defeat in the BBL.. The Strikers are now third in the table, the Heat are fifth. "Glad the way we responded to the Gabba," Phil Salt says. "All credit to the boys, if you get beat like it's easy to go gun-shy, but they delivered a performance like that." I'll wrap things up for here and you can head over to catch the start of our coverage of the India v Australia ODI. See you tomorrow for more BBL. Goodbye and thanks for joining us.

eased down the ground
worked down the ground to long-on
Duncan: "Is it just me, or have most of the matches this season been extremely lopsided? Can't think of any really tight matches (not that I've followed it slavishly)." In the last week or so, yes
heaved down the ground to long-on...takes him a 34-ball fifty, timely innings after a tricky tournament
thumped down the ground...dismissive stuff as he strikes through the line and sends it straight
another one into the crowd! A low full toss at the stumps, a crisp bottom-handed whip over the leg side
top edge, over the keeper! Keeps it short, swings across the line, Peirson leaps but can't quite get there
short again, touch quicker, beats the top edge as he pulls

that's short and pulled well back into the crowd! A drag down from Swepson, Salt had all the time in the world to pull it over deep midwicket
nicely bowled, full and straight, hint of inswing, driven to backward point
full outside off, a cross-batted heave to deep midwicket
drilled! Full at off stump, a solid swing through the line sends it straight down the ground and it just beats Bryant from long-on
