Thanks all for joining us, and we'll see you again then.

19.4
W
Siddle to Meredith, OUT

fittingly, it's Siddle who finishes things off with a perfect yorker that cleans him up! The Hobart Hurricanes are done for this season, while the Adelaide Strikers will now face Sydney Thunder for a place in the final.

clobbered past mid-on for four. It was in the slot, and he connected really well

17.6
1
Siddle to Meredith, 1 run

squeezed into the offside

17.5
W
Siddle to Parker, OUT

cleans him up with a yorker. That was much too good for Parker to handle, especially at that pace around 140kph. Can Siddle finish it off this over?

Wil Parker b Siddle 4 (2b 1x4 0x6 9m) SR: 200
17.4
4
Siddle to Parker, FOUR runs

goes across and paddles it over fine leg. Premeditated obviously, but he did well to clear short fine leg

17.3
1
Siddle to Boland, 1 run

a little prod on the onside and he gets off the mark

Matt: "This is David vs Goliath task right now." Nicely done, though I'm afraid Goliath's won here

17.2
W
Siddle to David, OUT

spanks that straight down long-off's throat, and that might be the end of the Hurricanes' resistance. Gave it a good old thwack, but it was much too flat

Tim David c sub (J Weatherald) b Siddle 21 (11b 1x4 2x6 17m) SR: 190.9
17.1
4
Siddle to David, FOUR runs

walks out of his crease and nicks it down to fine leg for four. Lucky to get bat on it, because otherwise he was plumb in front

16.6
1
Fawad to David, 1 run

slapped down to long-off and this time he runs to keep the strike

16.5
Fawad to David, no run

smashed to long-off; he refuses the single

16.4
6
Fawad to David, SIX runs

almost a carbon copy. This was a touch shorter from Fawad and David properly caught this out of the middle, watching it sail over the rope. Is this the start of something special?

16.3
6
Fawad to David, SIX runs

muscles it over wide long-on. Didn't look like he'd got it all, but goes deep, uses his power and clears the rope.

16.2
Fawad to David, no run

defended back to Fawad

Sunny: "Tim David has the ability to chase this target from here" David or bust for the Hurricanes now

16.1
W
Fawad to Rogers, OUT

miscue from Rogers, it's skied and the keeper takes an easy catch. Wasn't much of a delivery, but in fairness, wasn't much of a shot either

Tom Rogers c †Carey b Fawad Ahmed 1 (2b 0x4 0x6 5m) SR: 50
