Hope you've enjoyed the coverage. Do join us for more action tomorrow from the BBL. For now, you can switch over to the Cape Town Test. Cheers!
Travis Head is the Man of the Match for his 31-ball 51. That's as good as we've played as a group. I just couldn't get in and take my chances till now, but it's good to finally get runs. It's good to beat them in front of a 46,000 crowd. Brisbane Heat have some exciting players. We know it just takes one performance to turn the game around, we certainly won't underestimate them. It's a good wicket there at the Gabba, so we're looking forward to Friday.
The Scorchers lost Shaun Marsh early. Klinger played and missed a number of times, and suddenly they were consumed by the pressure of the chase. Have to wonder if the last four overs of the Strikers' innings proved to be the difference. They smashed 58 to take the momentum into the break. They looked a completely different side from there on.
Adil Rashid: We can beat any team on their day. Back in England, we don't get these many people. Coming out and playing in front of 45,000 fans can be a thrilling experience.
Three wins in a row now for the Adelaide Strikers as they knock off Perth Scorchers to move to the top of the table. This has been a special bowling performance against a batting line-up that kept bulldozing opponents. But their middle order, that hasn't been tested so far, were found in the deep end during a stiff chase. Adil Rashid was superb, and finished his three scalps. His variations will certainly make him an interesting prospect in India during the World T20.
