Full commentary

Adelaide Strikers win by 10 wickets with 55 balls to spare. That;s even more one sided that the match between the same teams at the Gabba. Phil Salt put the finishing touches on an outstanding performance from the home side with 67 off 38 balls. It was all set up by the bowlers, but this was an awful day for the Heat and the net run-rate will have taken a hit in the process (while the Strikers will have got a boost). Here are the biggest margins of victory/defeat in the BBL.. The Strikers are now third in the table, the Heat are fifth. "Glad the way we responded to the Gabba," Phil Salt says. "All credit to the boys, if you get beat like it's easy to go gun-shy, but they delivered a performance like that." I'll wrap things up for here and you can head over to catch the start of our coverage of the India v Australia ODI. See you tomorrow for more BBL. Goodbye and thanks for joining us.
