So Strikers claim the bonus boost point, doing it several overs before the halfway point of the chase, but then somehow wind up miles off the target. Wrap your heads around that for the next 48 hours as the BBL has an off day tomorrow before the tournament resumes in Canberra when the Sydney Thunder take on Perth Scorchers. That's all from us tonight. Take care!

Man of the Match Dan Christian: "The way the game started off, Dan Worrell bowled beautifully. I was just trying something different. They got off to a great start in the chase too but everyone was fantastic tonight. It'll be good to get to Queensland to get rid of the thermals and get warm." Everyone on the field and in the crowd was bundled up on a chilly evening in Hobart tonight.

10.33 pm Sixers romp by 38 runs. They were in a colossal hole after 12 overs before Dan Christian's whirlwind 50. Strikers were similarly way ahead in the early stages of the chase before inexplicably staying in first gear through the second half of the chase. Wells ends unbeaten on 36 off 38 balls, not an innings he'll be framing to hang in the study at home. Ben Manenti's spell of offspin produced two soft dismissals and the Strikers couldn't get any momentum going to recover.

19.3
W
Brathwaite to Rashid Khan, OUT

full pitching outside leg, Rashid flicks this helicopter style to deep square leg. Holder at 6'8" on the rope plucks this with ease reaching high over his head. Any other fielder in the match besides the two towering Bajans and that's six but Holder clutches on with ease.

47 needed off the final over from Strikers. They're just trying to salvage a bad net run rate hit at this stage. Brathwaite to bowl.

Christian to Rashid Khan, 1 run

dropped! Bouncer on the stumps, Rashid heaves this high toward midwicket. Silk settles under this 10 yards in from the rope and spills this badly. Compared to the flat rocket he shelled earlier, this was miles easier. 5/10 on difficulty and he muffs it badly. Inconsequential though at this stage.

Christian to Rashid Khan, FOUR runs

full pitching well outside leg stump, Rashid backs well away from leg stump to create room and drive inside out over extra cover. Gorgeous shot.

18.2
1lb
Christian to Wells, 1 leg bye

full and into the legs again from around the stumps, beats the batsman trying to flick him behind square, off the pads behind square.

Rashid has taken both his left shoe and his sock off as the physio takes out the spray to numb it down. Now taking a few minutes to get his socks, shoe and pads back on. He's limping around favoring the left foot leg.

18.1
1lb
Christian to Rashid Khan, 1 leg bye

yorker speared into the pads, Rashid misses a flick behind square and is nailed straight on the boots. He's in agony. Was hit basically right on the top of the shoes in an area with next to no protection.

Christian to bowl the 19th. Around the stumps to Rashid.
