Stars batted their 20 overs out to register a score of 141/6. Scorchers started slow but looked good to chase the target with Cameron Bancroft still in the middle. 52 in a little over 5 overs was hard but not impossible.
However, Nic Maddinson had different ideas and completely swung the favour in Melbourne Stars’ side with a fantastic catch off his own bowling to dismiss Bancroft and derail their chase.

Hilton Cartwright managed to carry his bat with a fighting half century to help his side put a respectable total to defend. In the end, it proved to be the difference.
