The rain has stopped and we've got a game! Its a five over game, so just three to go. The Stars will be confident about getting the win now
And it is pouring at the WACA! All of a sudden and the players run for shelter. This would be a tragedy for the Stars if it's washed out. Remember we need five overs for a game. We'll keep you up to date with the weather.
Update 7.15pm local time :The rain is still coming down here. We need five overs to constitute a match and we've got about 45 minutes to get them in. Stay tuned for more updates
So a strange finish to this game, after the rain delay, the target was revised to 6! and the game was over!
Despite the finish, the Stars absolutely deserved to win the game after a dominant display from Man of the Match Lasith Malinga - 6 for 7 off 4 overs. A stunning bowling spell from one of the most dangerous quicks in the world.
Thanks for your company tonight, good night.

The end of a bitterly disappointing performance by the Scorchers, but an incredible bowling performance by Lasith Malinga - his 6 for 7 the second best T20 figures in history.
Join me, Andrew Fuss, again in about 10 minutes for the run chase, where the Stars will be hoping to wrap this up quickly.
