PLAYER OF THE MATCH

Looks like the broadcaster is in a hurry - they have cut the coverage, so won't be able to bring you what the Player of the Match has to say. That's it for this one then. There's Brisbane Heat v Adelaide Strikers happening - hop tabs to catch that. See you soon. Escape now!

18:49 Local Time, 07:49 GMT, 13:19 IST: A drab second innings as the Stars never threatened. A stroll in the park for the Scorchers who had it easy after making 229. The bowlers had a nice workout as the Stars lineup could not get any momentum at all. Stoinis failed and that was a big blow to their side. The experienced Scorchers bowling lineup effectively closed out the game. The Scorchers bounce back ater their loss to the Hurricanes while the Stars slump to a loss after a win against the same opponents. But still a long way to go in this tournament, so chance for both sides to go back and come back stronger.
