Thunder won by 6 wickets (with 9 balls remaining)
It's all over and it's all down to one man, the Man of the Match Chris Gayle. He hit a record 11 sixes in his 100 not out to lead the Thunder to a relatively easy victory.
O'Brien and Botha bowled well for the Strikers but they couldn't get the key wicket of Gayle and that proved to be the difference.
The THunder win their second match on the trot and move into equal first with Hobart. Thanks for your company tonight. Have a great night and Merry Christmas.
full down leg and he sweeps past the man at short fine leg to win the game
dropped, smokes a drive back to Botha who sticks out his right hand but can't take an incredibly hot chance
gets down for the sweep but can' connect, squirts down to fine leg
short on off, pulled to mid wicket to bring up an incredible, scinitilating hundred off just 53 balls
worked to the leg side, half a chance of a runout but Gayle is quick this time and home safely
flicked down to fine leg
worked down to fine leg
short on leg, pulls over square leg, Blizzard doesn't attack it quickly enough and it lands short of him
full on leg, backs away and flicks it over mid wicket where Botha drops him on the boundary!
His second six of that over was the biggest of the tournament, it went a massive 105 metres.
smashed to long on
a quicker one and he's bounced him, certainly surprised him and he possible edged it but Crosthwaite couldn't take it
and he goes again for his 10th six of the innings, breaking his own record, this time over long off
shorter this time and he crushes it over deep mid wicket, it looks too easy for Gayle at the moment!
that's nothing more than a punch, just gets over long on's head, but enough for his 8th six, incredible!
smashed straight back through Borgas' hands, along the ground all the way
pushed to point, the crowd boos as they want Gayle on strike next over
full and driven straight to cover
slower ball bouncer, waits on it and pulls out to deep mid wicket
full on off, absolutely smokes it wide of mid off, super timing and power
length on leg, races down to fine leg off the pad, brilliantly fielded by Borgas on the rope
