Cricinfo’s Most Valuable Players of the Match
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.
