The Thunder advance! They win by 8 runs! Adelaide lost 6 for 28 after Carey ran himself out and their tournament is over!
Callum Ferguson on Fox: "It was a similar set of conditions as in Hobart where we executed well. I felt like the boys held their nerves so well under pressure."
Alex Hales is Player of the Match: "Unbelievable. Hell of an effort from our bowling group. I thought 170-180 was a good score. To defend 150 is incredible. I've been telling myself to bat 10 balls and then attack the back end of the powerplay. I was disappointed not to take it deep but the bowlers were awesome."
Runs on the board in finals. All three finals have been won by the sides batting first. The Strikers will be kicking themselves tonight. They absolutely butchered that chase. They needed 37 off 31 with seven wickets in hand. A stunning collapse. Now the Thunder face the Stars in the Challenger at the MCG on Thursday night.
Thanks for your company tonight from Adelaide Oval.
