Full commentary
10.05 pm When two of the top three hit fifties, in a chase of 152, there's little doubt over whom the winner would be. Travis Head produced a superb half-century, his shots matching Glenn Maxwell's earlier in the day. The Strikers' captain provided the oomph to the chase and once he got going, the Stars bowlers couldn't find a proper response. Thank you for your company through the match, enjoy the rest of your evening.
MK: "Dropped catches and poor captaincy in death bowling has never and will never win you a T20 game.. I think this is what Stars have learnt the hard way this BBL season."

Jack Dowl: "Faulkner 2 overs for 6 runs, Coleman 2 overs for 10 runs, yet Hastings bowls Stoinis 3 overs for 31????"
