And Jake Lehmann seals it in style with a first-ball/last-ball six! Milenko goes full and outside off, Lehmann looks to loft it. Instead, he scoops it over mid-off who is in the circle. That's a six! and that's more than enough for Strikers

10:15pm Phew, what a finish. Strikers go top and secure a home semi-final. Many thanks for joining us. Until next time, ta ra!
Rashid, Man of the Match: I thought we bowled exceptionally well. Spinners in general can pick up wickets in T20s. I am going through a nice run. I am coming back after five years. 50000 people watching and at this moment of the time I am just concentrating on the Big Bash (is the WT20 on his mind?)
How good is that . Love it #proud dad and family

— Darren Lehmann (@darren_lehmann) January 13, 2016alex: "@manish1365 Forget about first SIX. this is his first run and first ball in T20."
Brad: "Jake Lehmann, you beauty!. Career strike rate of 600 in the BBL. Never to be repeated!"
manish1365: "I just saw he had not hit any six in t20. Good timing to get the first one."
tarun: "Till last ball, Milenko has not conceded any boundary... Poor Lad"
Lehmann: "The mustache is my lucky charm. I got lucky I guess. Ludeman just said go mid-off. If not the short boundary. The crowd has been brilliant. Sold out for the third time this season."
