Right then! That is all we have from this game. Action in the BBL continues on Manic Monday, 3rd January as Melbourne Stars take on Melbourne Renegades in the Melbourne derby at the MCG. That match begins at 1:45 PM IST (8:15 AM GMT). Do join us for all the action. Till then, goodbye and take care!
Matthew Gilkes is the Player of the Match. He says that he threw away his wicket in the last match and had some plans this time. Says that he loves to open the innings and informs it is the best place to bat in T20.
... Presentation ceremony ...
There's nothing much to say about the Strikers apart from the fact that they are finding it really difficult to play well as a team and get over the line. Short and Weatherald started off well but got out on successive deliveries. Matt Renshaw was then looking really good but he gave away his wicket really cheaply. The Strikers got back in the game with a 45-run stand between Nielsen and Kelly before the latter was run out. This wicket ended any hopes of a comeback and even though Nielsen tried everything, it was just too difficult. In the end, they got bowled out for 144 and were handed yet another defeat.
Since their Sydney Smash loss, the Thunder have been unstoppable. In the three matches after that, at least one batter has played a magnificent innings and Gilkes was that man tonight. Saqib Mahmood and Daniel Sams did not start off particularly well with the ball but it was the debutant, Mohammad Hasnain who got three wickets in his first over and got his team in front. Sangha was given a chance with the ball tonight and he too got a couple of important wickets. It was Gilkes then who inflicted an important run out which got rid of Kelly and after that their bowlers closed the innings nicely. A comprehensive display in the end from the Thunder and they will be mightily pleased.
Sydney Thunder with another good team effort have now won three matches in a row and also jump to third place in the points table. Adelaide Strikers slump to a seventh defeat in eight matches and are all but out of the competition.

Mohammad Hasnain To Henry Hunt
Almost a fourth wicket! A yorker at 143 kph, around the off pole and this one shapes away late. Hunt looks to drive but gets comprehensively beaten. Three wickets and a maiden to start his journey in the BBL.
Mohammad Hasnain has already announced himself on the biggest stage. Three wickets in his debut over and yet to concede a run as well. Henry Hunt walks out.

Mohammad Hasnain To Jonathan Wells OUT!
OUT! TAKEN! Mohammad Hasnain is just running through the Strikers' batting order. A length ball, on off and this is a quick one as well. Jonathan Wells looks to counter attack and goes for the elusive pull shot. Wells is a bit late as the ball hurries onto him but still manages to get a decent connection. Ben Cutting at mid-wicket, dives to his left and takes a sharp catch. 3 wickets in his first over and Hasnain is a superstar already.

Mohammad Hasnain To Jake Weatherald OUT!
OUT! LBW! Mohammad Hasnain is on a hat-trick, on debut and in his first over! Hasnain is spitting out there as he bowls a quick delivery, on middle stump. This one just nips back in a bit and Jake Weatherald is just too late in his shot. The ball raps him on the back leg and it takes the umpire a mere second to raise his finger.
Matt Renshaw is the new man in.

Mohammad Hasnain To Matthew Short OUT!
OUT! TAKEN! Mohammad Hasnain draws first blood and gets his maiden wicket in the BBL. A length ball, angled at the pads. Matthew Short picks it up and whips it towards the backward square leg fence. The connection is good but that's the longer part of the ground. The ball goes straight to Daniel Sams at the backward square leg fence and he doesn't make a mistake.

Saqib Mahmood To Jake Weatherald
Was that a bumped catch or was it put down? Mahmood starts off with full delivery, on off. Jake Weatherald looks to jam it out but the ball flies off the outside edge and the fielder at point flies to his right but can't hang on. They take a single and the Strikers are underway.
