full outside off, he craves this to long off for one
Thunder vs Strikers, Knockout at Adelaide, BBL, Feb 01 2020 - Match Result
The Thunder advance! They win by 8 runs! Adelaide lost 6 for 28 after Carey ran himself out and their tournament is over!
Callum Ferguson on Fox: "It was a similar set of conditions as in Hobart where we executed well. I felt like the boys held their nerves so well under pressure."
Alex Hales is Player of the Match: "Unbelievable. Hell of an effort from our bowling group. I thought 170-180 was a good score. To defend 150 is incredible. I've been telling myself to bat 10 balls and then attack the back end of the powerplay. I was disappointed not to take it deep but the bowlers were awesome."
Runs on the board in finals. All three finals have been won by the sides batting first. The Strikers will be kicking themselves tonight. They absolutely butchered that chase. They needed 37 off 31 with seven wickets in hand. A stunning collapse. Now the Thunder face the Stars in the Challenger at the MCG on Thursday night.
Thanks for your company tonight from Adelaide Oval.

yorker into leg, he digs it out
Billy Stanlake with a highest score of 7. Morris around the wicket
caught behind! Is that the game?! 135kph, short and wide, pace on, he tried to thrash a cut, it was in his wheelhouse, he just got a thin edge as it bounced a touch and Lenton does the rest!
13 needed off the last over to be bowled by Chris Morris. Strikers a 21% chance, going into the final over
slower ball, on off, he pushes this to cover for a single to retain the strike
Does Wells take the single?
Adelaide win probability was 15% after Siddle's wicket
full and wide, he drills a drive to deep cover, Tremain does a great job on the rope to save two
Wells back on strike
chipped to mid off! 113kph, slower ball wide of off, he backed away too far and just chipped it off the toe to mid off and it's an easy catch for Hales
Stuart: "Win, lose or draw I think Jono Wells has his hat in the ring for player of the tournament - he's done this job so brilliantly time and again. "
short slower ball, 116kph, he mistimes a pull to short fine
They crossed. Siddle is at the non-striker's
top edge and Nair hangs on at short fine! Just! Slower ball, Neser tried to launch over deep square, the top edge went straight to short fine, Nair was under it but never looked confident, it dipped away from him late, he dived and held on!
Around the wicket
James: "Tremain tried to do the same thing Agar did in the 19th over of the first innings. Neser adjusted far better than the Thunder batsmen did."
slower ball, on off, he drives to cover's left but just for a single
Daniel Sams to bowl the 19th. Morris will bowl the last. That 16-run over pushes the equation back slightly in favour of the Strikers… win probability is now 54%
