That is all we have for you from this game. But do not go anywhere! The Scorchers-Strikers clash is on our heels. Hope over there to catch that action...

D'ARCY SHORT HAS BEEN NAMED THE MAN OF THE MATCH. Not surprising, but only thing bamboozling is that if you have just tuned in and not checking the scorecard, you would be surprised to see that he has been awarded because of his bowling, not batting.

A miserable evening for the Thunder. They were inconsistent with the ball, conceding too many runs at the death while the batting simply did not step up. Only three men reached double figures. This poor display means that Thunder have slipped to 6t, with Hurricanes taking the provisional 5th spot. The Greens must find a way to beat the Scorchers in their final clash.

Right. A 57-run win for the Hurricanes. They never were in threat, after posting 185. Only Hales provided any sort of resistance but the biggest surprise was D'Arcy Short taking a 5-fer.

W 17.3

Nathan Ellis to Liam Bowe

OUT! RUN OUT! Length delivery on off, Bowe punches it towards mid off. The fielder fires a direct hit at the bowler's end. Liam Bowe finds himself well short of the crease. HOBART HURRICANES WIN BY 57 RUNS!

Liam Bowe is the last man in.

W 17.2

Nathan Ellis to Gurinder Sandhu

OUT! BOWLED! Ellis bowls a yorker on middle, Sandhu looks to go big but misses it and gets bowled.

lb 1 17.1

Nathan Ellis to Jonathan Cook

Full delivery on leg, Sandhu looks to flick but gets hit on the pads. It goes towards the leg side. The batsmen take a single. The bowler himself goes for the direct hit at the keeper's end but misses it. The umpire gives it as a leg bye.

Nathan Ellis is back on.
