10:10pm: Adelaide Strikers were sloppy in the field, throwing away as many as five chances, but Richardson and Laughlin pulled it back at the death. Both were impressive with their assortment of slower balls. The win, though, was set up by fifties from Hodge and Ross. That is all we have for you tonight. Ciao tomorrow.

Hodge: It is a great place to play cricket. Phenomenal atmosphere and BBL is up and running. It was a bit like my Under-12 side, few [chances] gone down. We were lacking in intensity [in the field], but we bowled very well.
