Stars 58-1 after 8, Scorchers 1 87

Stars 63-- after 9, Scorchers 1.77 .. Fair base, but need to kick on .. white not playing big shots .. Dunno why, they have extra batters.

Stars 69-1 after 10, scorchers 1.71 .. Good bowling ..

Stars 81-1 after 11, poor over by Hogg, Stars fav 1.92 ..

Stars 96-1 after 12, Stars fav, 1.73 .. Can get out with profit.. So, reducing

Rain getting harder ...

Stars 150-1 after 15, Stars 1.18 .. Hope they get 200 ..

Play suspended at 15.2 overs ..



If they don't come back, target will be 57 off 5, 111 off 10, 163 off 15

18 over game now :



D/L will Prob add 5 runs to score, Scorchers will lose 1 over of Power Play

Stars 1.15

Wickets lost in next 2.4 balls, irrelevant to wkts lost.



Wkt - White - 88 from 53, 159-2 after 15.3 .. Stars 1.18

Stars 162-2 after 16, Stars 1.19

Stars 173-2 after 17, Stars 1.19

Stars finish on 183 from 18, Stars 1.19



D/L needs some work. If it was. 5 over chase, it would be 56 or so, that can't be fair to a side, that has scored 10 an over, for 18.

If they dont come back, chase will be : 56 in 5, 109 in 10, 158 in 15.










Adjusted score, 187

Rain still around, maybe reduced overs ..

17 overs .. , but, covers back, .. If they don't get back on, Scorchers will go thru to final .. Which, would be sick.

3 overs of power play
