Melbourne Stars beat Sydney Thunder by 6 wickets
Right then! That is all we have from this game. On Monday, 13th December, Melbourne Renegades will take on Brisbane Heat in an epic game. Make sure that you join us for that action at 6:15 pm local (8:15 am GMT) for the same. Cheers!
Andre Russell is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH! Rusell says that he was here for a few days before the start and did some training. Adds that it was good to be out there. Says that he just backed himself and with a positive start it was a good night. Tells that big hugs are coming up and will enjoy it.
The bowling was really good to begin with! Early wickets is what Sydney Thunder needed and they did get two of them. However, that dropped catch of Maxwell cost them dearly as it was from then Maxwell got going. The bowlers then found it difficult to put a hold on the scoring. Sangha though did get them back with two wickets in the over but did not receive support from the other end. However, the Thunder just did not have enough on the board, had they scored 170, the story might have well been different.
It was all about a couple of partnerships for the Stars and they got that. First in the form of Maxwell and Stoinis who added 59 runs together in quick time after they lost two wickets early. Maxwell was the aggressor and Stoinis was happy to give the strike over to him. Thunder though got themselves back into the game when they got two in two but Russell and Cartwright put up another brilliant partnership with both striking it big to take their side over the line.
What a thumping win in the end for Melbourne Stars! What carnage from Russell, sublime stuff from the man from the Windies. He came in at a tricky situation but took the game by the scruff and has taken his team over the line with a blitzkrieg. He has surely announced his arrival.

Gurinder Sandhu To Andre Russell
SIX! A length ball, outside off. Russell smashes it to deep mid-wicket, it almost looked like will go all the way but Sams catches it there. His momentum is taking him over so he flicks it back to Green who is standing across. There is drama as the fielder throws it back to the bowler who tries to clip the bails off but the umpire tells him to wait. The third umpire is called to check the boundary and after many replays, the big board shows NOT OUT and it is been given as a six. The replays showed that Sams stepped on the ropes.
Nathan McAndrew (3-0-24-1) is back on.
Is that a catch? It looks like the fielder has stepped on the rope while trying to flick the ball back to one of his teammates. It will be a SIX!

Tanveer Sangha To Andre Russell
TIMBER! Oh, wait, the bails have not fallen! Sangha should have had Russell on the very last ball but it probably is just Russell's night! This is tossed up, nice and full on middle, Russell swings, he gets an inside edge onto the pads and then the ball rolls onto the stumps. The bails do not fall though. A really good over from Sangha, just 8 from it in the Power Surge, he could have had Russell too. Really good night for him with the ball.

Tanveer Sangha To Glenn Maxwell OUT!
OUT! TAKEN! Two-in-two and the stars of the Stars, Maxwell and Stoinis depart on back-to-back deliveries. Thunder well and truly back into this one. What was that from Maxwell though? Having just lost Stoinis, that is a poor shot. He knows that but brave bowling from Sangha. He gives it air, floats it up and lands it on off. Tempts Maxwell to go big and he does. The ball though lands and then turns away. He ends up slicing it towards long off. Easy catch for Cutting. Game on here, the game is well and truly on. Sangha on a hat-trick.
Here he is! The big man, Andre Russell, walks out to bat.
11.2
W
Tanveer Sangha To Marcus Stoinis OUT!
OUT! TAKEN! That is a superb catch but Stoinis will be gutted with himself! That is one of the worst balls he has got out to! It is way too short and sits up to be hit. Stoinis rocks back and pulls, he may have lost his shape towards the end as he does not time it. It goes more off the splice and towards deep mid-wicket, it is also the longer part. Sams runs to his right and takes a good sliding catch. Is this the opening Thunder needed? 69 needed in 52.

DRINKS! After Glenn Maxwell's entry, Melbourne Stars have started scoring at a brisk pace and he has steadied things as well. Both the experienced players are batting nicely and with the Bash Boost Point going their way, they will look to chase this down as well.  75 needed in 60 balls. Also, Daniel Sams to bowl now.
