The match in a tweet: Thunder's Boost Bash blunder triggers collapse as Strikers storm home into finals contention.
The score: Adelaide Strikers 6-159 (Head 31, Salt, 31, Weatherald 31, Doggett 2-21, Milne 1-6) beat the Sydney Thunder (Khawaja 36, Neser 2-17, Siddle 2-22) by six runs
The points: Strikers 4, Thunder 0
The clutch over: Wes Agar, Adelaide Strikers' leading wicket taker of BBL|10, faced the worst possible start when charged with bowling the final over. With Thunder needing 23 to win and the big-hitting Ben Cutting at the crease, Agar watched his first delivery sail over the mid-wicket fence for six. But he fought back with two dot balls from his next three deliveries as the Strikers clinched a crucial six-run win.
