Adelaide Strikers win by nine wickets and that was an outstanding performance, led by their captain, along with Lloyd Pope (named player of the match), Cameron Boyce and Jamie Overton. While Jake Weatherald was in the runs again. Sydney Thunder looked like a team whose season was already over. And that result also ends the hopes of Melbourne Stars. So we know our four finalists now. The final thing to decide is who finishes second and plays Brisbane Heat in the Qualifier. Can Strikers go all the way from fourth spot? They are certainly finding form at the right time. Some questions over the middle order, perhaps, but things are clicking for them.

Sowmya: "Very very tough to discount the strikers, especially in top gear. The top teams are in the playoffs and it is going to be a cracking time."

I'll wrap things up there tonight, but we'll back tomorrow to see Stars and Hurricanes wrap up their seasons before the big one in Perth on Tuesday to decide who gets the second-chance final. Until then, from Gnasher, it's goodbye.
