Melbourne Stars vs Adelaide Strikers, 22nd Match, Big Bash League, 2016-17 - HighlightsMLS vs ADS, 22nd Match, Big Bash League, 2016-17 - Highlights

Stoinis to Ish Sodhi, SIX, that's one way of injecting some momentum into the innings. And he takes his side past the mind-blocking 150-mark barrier. Spots the slower one off the fingers and swings across the line holding his pose to deposit this well over the fielder at the ropes at mid-wicket to claim a maximum

Stoinis to Ish Sodhi, out Neser Run Out!! Tumbling apart here. Short, Sodhi misses the pull and Neser calls him for a desperate non-existent single. Handscomb however collects the ball and instantly throws it back at the stumps in an under-arm chuck. Right at the base of the middle-stump and Neser was nowhere in the frame. Neser run out (Handscomb) 2(2)

Hilfenhaus to Kelvin Smith, out Caught by Handscomb!! Two in two. Full, wide and Smith chases it on the wide drive away from his body. A faint tickle follows and the keeper does the rest. The Strikers in all sorts of trouble here and as it has been the case all through the innings, one brings two. And it puts Hilfenhaus with a chance on a hat-trick. Kelvin Smith c Handscomb b Hilfenhaus 0(3)

Hilfenhaus to Pollard, out Caught by David Hussey!! The short ball does the trick on yet another occasion against the big West Indian. Drags the length back, and hurries onto Pollard, who in compulsive fashion goes on the pull. A cramped one in the process and gets it high on his splice and only as far as Hussey at mid-wicket. Pollard c David Hussey b Hilfenhaus 16(13) [4s-2]

Boland to Pollard, FOUR, full, tailing in. Just looked like a dig out from Pollard with the bat rolling in his palms as well. But such is the brute power he imparts that even a dive from Quiney at long-on cannot stop him from pocketing a boundary

Boland to Jono Dean, out Caught by Stoinis!! Holes out. Attempts another heave across the line and gets it off the inside half of the bat but enough elevation to linger in the sky for the man at the deep mid-wicket fence to have all sorts of doubts creep into his head. Just that it doesn't. Stoinis keeps his eyes on the ball all the way and plucks it out with a dive to keep it inside the ropes. Jono Dean c Stoinis b Boland 23(16) [4s-3 6s-1]

Boland to Jono Dean, SIX, right under it. Right into the orbit. Picks out the low full toss and shoves it away with a fierce swing. Several rows into the long-on fence

Gulbis to Jono Dean, FOUR, take that for innovation. Sees the shortened length, gets himself into an arch and raises his bat late with the whip as the final touch to ramp it over the keeper

Gulbis to Jono Dean, FOUR, shimmies down the wicket, opens up his stance, waits for the inward movement on the ball to take it into him and just flamingoes his bat in. The French cut down into the fence through the tiniest of gaps between his legs and the leg-pole

Stoinis to Jono Dean, FOUR, tasty. Right in the slot to be driven and he smokes it with a free flowing crunch through the covers. In the gap and into the fence

Mike Beer to Pollard, FOUR, ahh Pollard. In the prime of his powers. Takes on the tossed up delivery with a dance down and drills it with all his force just past the bowler, who is fortunate to not get a hand on it. Phew

Boland to Ludeman, out Caught by Quiney!! One gets two. Both the set batsmen depart in the span of three balls. Takes on the length delivery with an almighty heave with a full lofty swing and gets it high in the air. Only as far as long-on where the fielder was positioned to perfection. Ludeman c Quiney b Boland 26(24) [4s-2]

Boland to Hodge, out Bowled!! Too good. Too quick. And too ungainly in the end. 138kph and off a length targetting the leg-stick and surprisingly Hodge goes for the across the line heave clearing his front leg and swinging hard. Was too full in the end for the shot to be executed and the leg-stick in the end it knocked out of its groove with the zingers lighting up the night sky. Hodge b Boland 17(22)

Liam Bowe to Ben Dunk, out Caught by David Hussey!! Oh Hussey. Who says people like these age? Made what should have been a stunner look like a walk in the park. Tosses it up and invites the slice, gets it out of Dunk, who once again loses his shape in the process of going too hard at it. And David Hussey at extra cover, runs back and takes it over his head. A breezy knock comes to an end. Ben Dunk c David Hussey b Liam Bowe 35(25) [4s-5]

Liam Bowe to Ludeman, FOUR, stays away, gives himself the room and slices it without the convincing timing. But right in the gap and with the power imparted on this stroke, it was always going into the fence

Boland to Ben Dunk, FOUR, a wasted line. Hit me stuff and Dunk isn't going to miss out on these. Just a nonchalant glance and reintroduced into the fence behind square

Boland to Ludeman, FOUR, bites right into this one. A stroll down the track and looks to take toll of the last over before the powerplay ends and he does it in some style. Walks into the line and takes on the short pitched sruff with a flat batted pull through mid-wicket

Boland to Jake Weatherald, out Caught by Hilfenhaus!! The first blood drawn. And it is off a delivery that was meant to be dispatched. Was only a length delivery and Jake Weatherald goes across the line with his swiped drive, hurries on to him thanks to the pace on offer at the G and all he gets is the top edge that flies only as far as mid-on. Jake Weatherald c Hilfenhaus b Boland 11(9)

Mike Beer to Ben Dunk, FOUR, the broom is out. Sinks on a knee and powerfully fetches the ball from the sticks and nails it through square leg. On some fire here

Hilfenhaus to Ben Dunk, FOUR, even better. Stays away and this time lofts it in the air. Over the bowler's head once again and it rushes away into the fence

Hilfenhaus to Ben Dunk, FOUR, phew! Some serious hammering force in that one. Clears his front leg and takes on the length delivery to drill it past the bowler. No stopping that

Mike Beer to Ben Dunk, FOUR, keeps it on the shorter side does Beer and Dunk uses the entire depth of his crease to rock back and flat bats it past the bowler
