  The Melbourne Stars had a competitive total on the board but their bowlers let them down. They bowled poor lines and gave away plenty of freebies. Beau Webster was the pick of the bowlers with 4 wickets to add along with his fifty with the bat. Liam Dawson chipped in with one but the rest of the bowlers had an off day and the Stars have slumped to their third loss in a row. Earlier today, the Stars batted first and posted 172 on the board largely thanks to Webster's fifty while Hilton Cartwright and Maxwell also made decent runs but it was not enough at the end. Melbourne Stars will need to regroup and come back stronger if they are to progress further in the tournament.
1.22pm
  A comprehensive run chase by the Sydney Thunder sees them beat the Melbourne Stars by 5 wickets with an over to spare. Chasing 173 for the win, the Thunder got off to a brilliant start with Hales and Bancroft. The duo added 78 inside 8 overs and set the tone for the chase. Both the openers were however gone quickly but the middle order played handy cameos at a quick rate and got the Thunder past the winning line.
