That is all we have for you from this game. The Strikers-Hurricanes game starts in an hour from now. Please do switch to that tab to see whether the final 5 teams are confirmed for the playoffs.
So the revised points table sees the Thunder jump to fourth, with 13 points. They would first be keenly looking at the Hobart-Adelaide match. If Adelaide win or lose by a narrow margin, the Thunder need not even bother about Monday. However, if the Hurricanes win by a big margin, some nail-chatting would be there when the Renegades play the Heat in the final league game.
ALES HALES HAS BEEN NAMED THE MAN OF THE MATCH. He is happy with the win. Says that it has been a really enjoyable BBL for him and he personally, could contribute. On Chris Morris finishing things off, Hales admits that he was out of touch but this innings here would give him a lot of confidence. On Thunder's chances for the playoffs, Hales says that if both Hobart and Renegades win they should be through. Stresses that they have done what they could and can only hope for the best now.
Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method is usually stern on the side batting first. Here it was no different. On a sluggish pitch, Perth might have scraped to 150 and even defended it - but the rain just spiced up the pitch and on the new deck, 8 an over was not too big a deal. Jhye Richardson and Fawad Ahmed still, tried their best and got some choke going but the second over from Morne Morkel, which went for 18, allowed the Thunder to get a headstart.
A bit too close for comfort but the Thunder are through. 96 was originally thought to be a tough total to chase in 12 overs on a slow deck but the quickfire 66-run opening stand in 45 balls set the tone for the chase. Hales' cameo ensured that the win was secured - that is what we all thought - but suddenly, Perth came back into the game as the Thunder found ways to collapse. Eventually, Chris Morris took them home.

Matthew Kelly To Chris Morris
FOUR! No Super Over! Full and outside off, a touch wide, Morris leans and lofts it over cover. One bounce and into the ropes! SYDNEY THUNDER WIN BY 7 WICKETS (DLS METHOD)!

Matthew Kelly To Chris Morris
SIX! SPANKED! Thank you very much. At this stage, length balls are like Christmas presents. And Santa Kelly delivers one. Outside off, Morris gets underneath it and swings it cleanly over long on! Just 3 needed from 3 now.

Matthew Kelly To Callum Ferguson
On the pads, the skipper looks to flick but misses. The ball goes off his pads towards the keeper and a leg bye is taken. In fact, no signal, so must be an inside edge. 9 needed from 4...

Matthew Kelly To Callum Ferguson
A couple off the first ball. 10 needed from 5. Ferguson comes down the track and pulls this length ball through mid-wicket.

Jhye Richardson To Callum Ferguson
Just a single! Brilliant, brilliant over from Richardson. Take a bow young man, you are a complete superstar. Just two from it. Match now in the favor of the visitors. 12 needed in 6. This is a length ball outside off, Ferguson hits it towards cover for one.

Jhye Richardson To Chris Morris
Brilliant save! How big can this stop be. Morkel, the big man, saves three there. This is full and on off. It is nailed towards mid off. Morkel there dives to his right and stops it. Just a single so far from the over. Can Richardson end it well?

Jhye Richardson To Chris Morris
Direct hit and Morris was a goner! This is angled into the pads, Morris looks to flick but misses. It hits the pads and rolls towards the keeper. Morris is off for a run but is sent back. A shy at his end by Inglis but misses.

Jhye Richardson To Alex Ross OUT!
OUT! TIMBER! Perth are right back in this! 14 in 10 now. This is a pacey delivery, it is on a length and around off. Ross plays a poor shot. He looks to cut but there is no room on offer. He misses and the ball hits the off pole. Is there a twist in this game?

Jhye Richardson To Alex Ross
A dot to begin! This is angled into the middle pole, Ross defends it out back to the bowler. Cramped for room there was Ross.
Jhye Richardson i on now! He needs to bowl a good over here. Can he keep 8 or 9 for the one bowling the last over?

Fawad Ahmed To Alex Ross
Nice loopy ball, Alex is down the track to defend but misses and is hit on the pads. Inglis appeals for LBW but no way he was going to get that.

Slower through the air, another wrong 'un, Ross is early into his reverse sweep but still manages to drag it through cover for a run.

The googly, but down the leg side. Worked to deep mid-wicket for a single.

Ashton Agar To Alex Ross
FOUR! That releases the pressure! Ross is off the mark with a lovely shot. He needs no sighters. Goes down on one knee and drags this delivery from outside off through mid-wicket for a boundary. 18 needed in 17.
Alex Ross is the new man in.

Ashton Agar To Usman Khawaja OUT!
OUT! Khawaja is just short! Both the openers back in the hut. Perth now do have a sniff here. Agar bowls it outside off, Khawaj looks to guide it down to third man but gets a bottom edge which hits the boot of the keeper. Khawaja is not sure where the ball exactly is so he sets off. He then realizes it is near the keeper so tries to get back in. Inglis picks the ball up, whips the bails off and appeals. The umpire takes it upstairs. Replays roll in and show that Khawaja has to take the long walk back. 22 needed in 19. Two new batters out there.
Is that a run out? Looks close - all three, Inglis, Khawaja and the umpire are not sure and he has taken it upstairs.

WIDE! Can't give away free runs at the moment. Agar slips this down the leg side. Ferguson lets it be.
