inside edge and it runs away fine for the winning run! It ran for four but the batsmen touched for the winning run prior to it reaching the rope so he only gets one.
Strikers vs Hurricanes, 14th Match at Hobart, Jan 02 2017 - Ball by Ball Commentary
Hurricanes won by 8 wickets (with 14 balls remaining)
A comprehensive win for the Hurricanes. It was set up with the ball. They bowled magnificently to restrict the Strikers to 143. Dan Christian took 5 for 14 and Stuart Broad bowled beautifully as well. Then a 105-run opening stand between D'Arcy Short and Tim Paine in just 12 overs allowed the Hurricanes to cruise to victory. Short was impressive again with his second half-century of the tournament. Dan Christian is named man of the match for his 5 for 14, the second best figures in BBL history.
