Two runs. Matt Short to Peter Siddle. Off break length ball, outside off stump down the track working, in the air under control to deep mid wicket for 2 runs. Adelaide Strikers have restricted the opponent to clinch victory by 15 runs. The Strikers claimed their first victory of the competition, while it is a third loss in the tournament from the opening games for the Stars. Skipper Matt Short started with the wicket of Duckett. But Sam Harper and Marcus Stoinis managed to handle the situation well for a time. However, once Stoinis was dismissed, Melbourne never managed to gather enough momentum through the rest of the innings to get themselves over the winning line. It was the Adelaide leg-spinners that took key wickets tonight. Lloyd Pope is the Player of the Match for his magical spell which included the wicket of the dangerous Sam Harper.
