Melbourne Stars vs Adelaide Strikers, 34th Match, Big Bash League 2025-26 - HighlightsMLS vs ADS, 34th Match, Big Bash League 2025-26 - Highlights

Stoinis to Boyce, out Caught by Maxwell!! This is high and this is right down Maxwell's throat at long-on - Strikers have been bundled out for 83 - backed away to a good length delivery and didn't get enough on the lofted drive, over the bowler's head and Maxwell has plenty of time to get under it in the deep. Boyce c Maxwell b Stoinis 20(18) [4s-1 6s-1]

Campbell Kellaway to Boyce, FOUR, nicely played, Boyce shimmies down the pitch, makes room and then carves the drive over extra-cover, beats the fielder in the deep

Mitchell Swepson to Boyce, SIX, clubbed, tossed up invitingly by Swepson - Boyce clears his front-leg, converts it into a half-volley and drills it back over the bowler's head for a maximum

Mitchell Swepson to Lloyd Pope, out Stumped!! This was coming, Swepson has his 3rd wicket and he's loving every bit of it - tossed up invitingly around off, was the leg-break and Pope couldn't control his urge to go over the top - runs down the icket, gets beaten by the dip and turn and is left stranded as Sam Harper breaks the stumps. Lloyd Pope st Sam Harper b Mitchell Swepson 0(5)

Stoinis to Harry Manenti, out Lbw!! That's plumb and Harry Manenti can't even think about reviewing - looks so bad on replays, a pre-empted slog-sweep, he shuffled right across and Stoinis saw it coming, went for the slower ball and got it to dip in front of the batter - Manenti was caught in no man's land, changes his decision and then tries to squeeze it out - gets into a bad tangle and is caught right in front, the ball would've crashed into middle and leg. Harry Manenti lbw b Stoinis 7(9) [6s-1]

Haris Rauf to Harry Manenti, SIX, beautifully played, the slower ball and Manenti picked it early - shuffles across, brings his wrists into play and then whips it over deep mid-wicket for a maximum

Mitchell Swepson to Hasan Ali, out Caught by Hilton Cartwright!! Oh dear! THis is terrible from Hasan Ali - 6 down and with the best part of 10 overs to bat, but he goes for the big slog-sweep and holes out to deep mid-wicket. Nicely bowled by Swepson, tosses one invitingly around off and Ali can't resist the big hit, but these are huge boundaries at the 'G', he did strike it welll, but can't clear Cartwright in the deep. Hasan Ali c Hilton Cartwright b Mitchell Swepson 0(1)

Mitchell Swepson to Jamie Overton, out Bowled!! The Strikers are crumbling here at the 'G' and Swepson has joined the party. Pushed through flatter and quicker on middle, Overton backs away on the cut, but the ball skids through and beats him for pace, clattering into the middle-stump - Strikers are 42 for 6 and are now down to their tail. Jamie Overton b Mitchell Swepson 6(13)

Tom Curran to Liam Scott, out Caught by Sam Harper!! Edged and Tom Curran is enjoying a lovely night at the 'G' - short of a good length and angling across the right-hander, Scott was looking to force it away off the back-foot, gets a thin edge and Sam Harper does the rest. The Strikers have lost half their side, the in-form batter has fallen and they've taken drinks with the visitors finding themselves in a big hole. Liam Scott c Sam Harper b Tom Curran 18(20) [4s-2]

Haris Rauf to Liam Scott, no run, a loud shout for LBW, Rauf thinks it's pad first and it's straight enough, so they've reviewed, nipped back in and Scott was only half-forward on the defensive push, it's definitely pad-first, UltraEdge confirms the same. The ball has ficked the flap of the pad, is it bouncing over? It's indeed bouncing over and the Stars have lost their review as well

Haris Rauf to Liam Scott, FOUR, back-to-back boundaries for Scott - short of a good length and just outside off, Scott picks the length early, swivels across and then hammers the pull wide of mid-wicket

Haris Rauf to Liam Scott, FOUR, crisp, 1st boundary of the match - overpitched around off, Scott leans forward, presents the full face of the bat and drives it back past the bowler for a boundary

Tom Curran to Jason Sangha, out Caught by Campbell Kellaway!! Straight to Kellaway at cover, the Strikers continue to slip - Sangha tries to be aggressive and pays the price - was a full ball outside off and Sangha had pre-empted the charge, had to reach out in the end and toe-ends the drive to cover - Kellway moves to his left and completes a pretty straightforward catch. Jason Sangha c Campbell Kellaway b Tom Curran 3(7)

Peter Siddle to Matthew Short, out Caught by Sam Harper!! Edged and caught! Everything going the Stars way at the 'G' - short of a good length and just outside off - too close to cut, Scott goes through with the shot and gets a thin edge through to the keeper. A must-win game and the Strikers are in deep deep trouble. Matthew Short c Sam Harper b Peter Siddle 8(10)

Tom Curran to Chris Lynn, out Lbw!! A huge shout and Chris Lynn has been given OUT LBW, looked plumb to the naked eye, but he has a chat with his partner and opts to review - nipped back in and caught the right-hander on the shuffle, played all around and was struck bang in front of middle, struck on the back-pad - UltraEdge has a flat line. Onto ball-tracking: It's three reds, crashing into the top of middle - Strikers lose Lynn and they have lost their review as well. Chris Lynn lbw b Tom Curran 2(5)

Tom Curran to Carey, out Caught by Haris Rauf!! That's a smart catch at mid-off and Haris Rauf has his arms aloft in joy - On a length and just outside off, Carey made room for the drive, was in the slot for the shot, but he doesn't get the elavation needed - Rauf moves to his left, gets both hands and clasps it cleanly. The 3rd umpire has a check, he deems it to be a fair catch and Carey is sent on his way. Carey c Haris Rauf b Tom Curran 3(7)
