STR vs STA Live Cricket Score

5.4 OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Oh, this is brilliant by Glenn Maxwell and Clint Hinchliffe! The move to bring him on after the 4-over Powerplay provides Stars with a big wicket. Maxwell, who is mic'd up and having a chat with the commentators, said just before this ball was bowled that Short might look to take Clint Hinchliffe on and that is exactly what has happened! This is tossed up, outside off. Short looks to sweep it away but gets the top edge. The ball goes in the air and to the left of the bowler. Clint Hinchliffe settles under it and takes it. 42/2

2.2 OUT! BOWLED! Matt Renshaw departs and this is a nothing shot from him! A length ball, on the fifth-stump line. Matt Renshaw looks to push it towards the off side away from his body. He gets a thick inside edge of his blade and the ball shatters the stumps. An early wicket for Stars and Strikers are still searching for a partner to support Short at the top. Renshaw's return to the side is not a good one. 22/1

9 OUT! STUMPED! This is beautiful bowling by Clint Hinchliffe and he is having a great day! Cockbain gives him the charge again so Hinchcliffe pushes it wider. Out comes the drive but Cockbain gets no bat on it. He is way out of the crease and Joe Clarke does the rest. 69/3

20 OUT! RUN OUT! A wicket off the last ball! Length ball, on off. Wells heaves it away to deep mid-wicket. They want the second and sprint back for it. But Beau Webster throws it to the keeper and Joe Clarke does the rest. Adelaide Strikers end at 155 for 6! 155/6

17.4 OUT! TAKEN! The struggle of Jake Weatherald comes to an end! The message might have been for him to go hard at every ball but he perishes in the process. Full, on off. He heaves it towards deep mid-wicket. The ball doesn't have the legs to reach the ropes. Hilton Cartwright runs in from the deep and dives forward to take it. Thomas Kelly walks in now. 130/4

19.2 OUT! BOWLED! Castled him! Very full, on off and fast too! 142 clicks and Kelly looks to heave it away. He misses though and the ball hits the off pole. Ahmed Daniyal is pumped and so he should be! Harry Nielsen is the new man in. 145/5

4.5 OUT! BOWLED! Chopped on! This is another big wicket and Melbourne Stars lose both their openers! Flatter, on off. Clarke goes back to pull it away but gets the inside edge on the pads. The ball then goes back to hit the stumps and Clarke walks back! 32/2

2.2 OUT! BOWLED! Off go the zing bails and the dangerous, dangerous Glenn Maxwell has to walk back! Henry Thornton provides his team with a big wicket at the start. Full ball, on off. Maxwell looks to heave it away but misses. The ball goes past the inside edge and hits the middle stump. 21/1

6.3 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Harry Nielsen with a sharp catch! Henry Thornton bowls this fuller on off. Beau Webster looks to drive but the ball catches the outside edge of his blade.

Four wickets down now and Melbourne Stars are in serious trouble. 37/4

5.3 OUT! TAKEN! Marcus Stoinis departs now and Fawad Ahmed strikes straightaway! A tossed-up delivery outside off. Marcus Stoinis looks to drive it but gets a thick outside edge. The ball goes towards the slip fielder and Matthew Short there makes no mistake. Great start for Adelaide Strikers. A classic leg-spinner's wicket this! Marcus Stoinis fails to make an impact on his comeback. 33/3

18.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Adelaide Strikers get the big fish and Melbourne Stars are out of it now. A low full toss on middle and leg. Hilton Cartwright looks to get under it. He heaves it towards deep mid-wicket but finds Matthew Short there. He takes a good catch and Adelaide Strikers likely have this in their bag. 125/7

14 OUT! BOWLED! You miss and I hit, says Siddle and Stars lose their fifth! Burns backs away to the leg side but Siddle attacks the stumps with his yorker. Burns looks to drive it away but misses it completely. The ball goes onto hit the off pole! 79/5

17.5 OUT! TAKEN! Adelaide Strikers get the wicket and Stars are six down now. Back of a length, on middle. Clint Hinchliffe looks to pull it over deep square leg. He fails to get the distance required and Thomas Kelly in the deep takes a fine catch. Hilton Cartwright is still out there in the middle for Stars but it is a tough task from hereon. 121/6

19 OUT! BOWLED! Henry Thornton gets his fourth wicket and this has been another dominating bowling performance by Adelaide Strikers. A full and straight delivery on the stumps.
