THU vs STR Live Cricket Score

3 OUT! CAUGHT! Fazalhaq Farooqi finds the breakthrough here and breaks the opening stand. It is slightly short, on top of off. Matthew Short makes some room and tries to heave it across the line on his back foot but all he manages to find is a thick top edge. The ball goes high in the air towards covers. Oliver Davies gets enough time to settle under it and he pouches it safely with both hands. 20/1

3.5 OUT! CAUGHT! Gurinder Sandhu joins the party and gets his first wicket of the innings. It is short, on off. Jake Weatherald goes for the pull but miscues it. It lobs to the man at mid-wicket. Jason Sangha takes a dolly there. Sydney Thunder are in a spot of bother here. 24/2

12.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Chris Lynn got hungrier for another biggie but holes out this time. It is a short ball, on off. Chris Lynn stays back and goes for the pull yet again. The ball takes the outside edge and flies to the left of the keeper. Matthew Gilkes calls for it and makes no mistake. A much-needed breakthrough for Sydney Thunder. 98/4

5.4 OUT! CAUGHT! A top, top catch from Gurinder Sandhu and Adelaide Strikers are three down inside the first six overs. On a hard length, pace on this time by Daniel Sams. Adam Hose looks to hang deep in his crease and swing across the line. The ball goes off the leading edge and flies high and down toward third man. Three fielders, including the keeper converge under it but it is Sandhu from third man who keeps his eyes on it and lunges forward to his left to take a clean catch. 32/3

13 OUT! CAUGHT! Brendan Doggett has gotten rid of both the set batters now in a jiffy. Adelaide Strikers have their half side back in the hut now. It is a length ball, attacking the pads. Colin de Grandhomme hangs back and flicks it straight to the man at short mid-wicket. This is turning out to be a huge over for Sydney Thunder. 99/5

17.5 OUT! TIMBER! A gem of a delivery from Daniel Sams and Thomas Kelly is a goner! Sams comes from over the wicket and serves a fullish delivery around middle and off. The ball is on a nagging length and Kelly is unable to get flrward enough to block it. The ball goes under his bat and hits the top of off stump. A lovely sight for a pacer, not a good one for the batter. 128/7

16.1 OUT! CAUGHT! Fazalhaq Farooqi comes in to bowl the second over of the surge and picks up a wicket right away. Slower one, at 108 clicks and bolwed around the top of off. Harry Nielsen looks to lift it off the back foot and over mid off but fails to get any power on it. The ball comes down near the mid off region where skipper Jason Sangha takes a simple catch. Fazalhaq Farooqi will be on a hat-trick as he picked up a wicket on the final delivery of his previous spell. 122/6

19.4 OUT! CLEANED UP! Gurinder Sandhu with an absolute beauty to get rid of Rashid Khan. This is bowled around 129 clicks and at the base of the off stump. Khan looks to jam it out on the off side but the ball is just good. It dips late on the batter and skids under the willow to crash into the off stump. 139/9

18.1 OUT! TAKEN! Another good catch from Gurinder Sandhu in the deep and Fazalhaq Farooqi has his third wicket of the game. Farooqi comes from around the wicket and bangs it in short, pace on and outside off. Wes Agar goes after it but it is the skiddy pace from Farooqi that hurries the batter. The ball flies off the outer half of the bat and to the left of the man at third man. Sandhu takes a good tumbling catch and Adelaide Strikers are going down in a hurry here. 129/8

2.1 OUT! CAUGHT! A horror show with the bat this from Sydney Thunder and Wes Agar picks up a wicket off his very first delivery. Agar goes full and outside off first up. Alex Hales hangs deep in his crease and tries to have a little dab at it as he looks to open the face of the bat and run it fine. A poor choice of shot from Hales as he could have easily left it but the ball takes the outside edge and this time it is a simple catch for Harry Nielsen behind the sticks. 7/4

0.3 OUT! TAKEN! Adam Hose with a sharp catch and Matthew Gilkes departs for a duck! Matthew Short slows it up and bowls it shorter around off. Gilkes rocks back and looks to cut but does so from close of the body. The ball goes uppishly to the right of the man at cover-point where Hose takes a good diving catch. Just the start Adelaide Strikers were looking for. 2/1

1.2 OUT! TAKEN! An absolute ripper of a catch by Matthew Short and the bowler, Henry Thornton cannot even believe it. Shortish length and outside off, Rilee Rossouw looks to slap it away but gets a thick outside edge and the ball seems to fly over the man at first slip. Short is a tall man but he shows great athleticism by leaping up to his right and grabbing the ball out of thin air with his right hand. Adelaide Strikers have started brilliantly with the ball here. Jason Sangha walks in at number 4. 5/2

1.4 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Not even two overs of the chase have been bowled and Sydney Thunder are already three down! Henry Thornton goes full and wide, inviting the drive. Jason Sangha looks to thrash it through covers but doesn't move his feet and ends up reaching for it. There is a bit of away movement on offer and the ball goes off the outside edge. The keeper, Harry Nielsen dives low to his right and takes a lovely catch. Sydney Thunder is serious trouble here. 5/3

3.1 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! What is happening out there? Sydney Thunder lose their 6th wicket and they haven't even reached double figures! Good length around off and shaping away a touch. Alex Ross looks to defend it out but does so with hard hands. Another one that could have been left alone but Ross ends up getting an outside edge and Harry Nielsen takes it safely to his right. Henry Thornton picks up his third wicket and is all pumped up. 9/6

2.5 OUT! BOWLED! Catastrophe for Sydney Thunder and nothing is going their way! Wes Agar bowls this on a good length and angles it down the leg side. Daniel Sams looks to tuck it fine but misses. The ball hits the underside of his thigh and goes on to hit the stumps as well. Wes Agar and Adelaide Strikers are ecstatic whereas Sydney Thunder are frustrated. They are now 5 wickets down for just 9 runs inside the 4th over, unbelievable. 9/5

5.2 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Henry Thornton gets his fourth wicket. It is a good-length ball, wide of off. This one holds its line. Oliver Davies offers no foot movement and throws his blade at it. The ball takes a thick outside edge and Harry Nielsen makes no mistake behind the sticks. Sydney Thunder are nine down now. 14/9

4.2 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Another one bites the dust and Wes Agar has his third wicket of the game. This is full and close to the off stump. Chris Green looks to drive it through covers but gets an outside edge that is safely pouched by Harry Nielsen behind the sticks. Sydney Thunder are now 7 down for 10 runs and are far, far away from the record lowest total in Big Bash League history. 10/7

4.5 OUT! TAKEN! Eight down now the Thunder with not even 5 overs completed, a complete disaster! Wes Agar serves it on a good length and in that channel around off stump. The ball angles away from the left-hander and Gurinder Sandhu is forced into having a dab at it. Sandhu gets an outside edge and Matthew Short at first slip takes a comfortable catch around waist height. The lowest men's T20 total at the senior level is 21 runs, surely we won't see that being broken here, will we? 10/8

5.5 OUT! CAUGHT! That's it. There are no more wickets left in hand for Sydney Thunder and it is all over. Henry Thornton ends his innings with an outstanding fi-fer. It is a good-length ball, on off. Brendan Doggett gets it to backward point off the outer half. Thomas Kelly stationed there takes a sharp catch. Sydney Thunder have been bundled out for just 15 runs. Adelaide Strikers record a massive victory of 124 runs. 15/10
