Hobart Hurricanes win by 10 runs in a very high-scoring encounter. Matthew Wade's magnificent century was the centerpiece, but for large parts of the chase the Strikers were well up in the chase. In the end, though, the impressive death skills of James Faulkner and Nathan Ellis sealed it. George Bailey has at least one more match in his career.
We now know that it will be Stars v Sixers at the MCG in the Qualifier on Friday. The Strikers will host the Knockout on Saturday against the winner of the Eliminator which will be the Hurricanes against either the Thunder or the Heat. The Heat play the Renegades tomorrow. It's all happening.
I'll wrap things up there for tonight. Will be back tomorrow. Thanks for joining us!

what a strike! It's not over yet...moves across outside off and plays a mighty mow against a delivery just short of yorker length. Peppers deep midwicket
Three sixes to win it

Faulkner to MW Short, 1 run
swings a straight delivery to deep midwicket. An outstanding over. Should be match-sealing
18.5
1
Faulkner to Neser, 1 run
a full and wide slower ball, throws everything at it but can only edge to short third man
18.4
2
Faulkner to Neser, 2 runs
a slower ball dragged down, pulled to deep square...they chance the second, as they really have to, the throw isn't great and Neser brings out the dive

Faulkner to MW Short, 1 run
carves a full toss into the off side
18.2
W
Faulkner to Carey, OUT
taken at long-off! Is that the game? Back of a length outside off, he flat-bats it down the ground but the lack of pace on the ball meant he dragged it
Alex Carey c Wright b Faulkner 39 (24b 3x4 2x6) SR: 162.5

•
Faulkner to Carey, no run
a slower ball, wide outside off, just dips inside the guide line and Carey leaves it alone!
27 off 12. What would Ellis be comfortable with defending off the last? 15, perhaps

W
Ellis to Rashid Khan, OUT
brilliantly bowled! Rashid doesn't like the decision, he thinks he's hit it. Pinpoint delivery from Ellis, on the first replay it looked pad first as he tried to bring the bat down
Rashid Khan lbw b Ellis 8 (4b 0x4 1x6) SR: 200

Ellis to Rashid Khan, SIX runs
Rashid Khan!! He unleashes a pull off the back knee which goes over deep midwicket
39 off 18...still very much within striking (Strikers) range. Can Ellis close it out at the death again?
