Coming in to bat at No. 5 in the 10th over, Maxwell was the pick of the Stars batsmen as he scored 43 (25) with the help of one four and four sixes.
Chasing a 175-run target, the visitors needed 12 runs to win off the last over but disciplined bowling from Strikers pacer Peter Siddle saw them winning the match by 4 runs. Having registered bowling figures of 4-0-24-3, Siddle was the highest wicket-taker for the hosts.
After Maxwell won the toss and invited Adelaide in to bat, the home team posted 174/4 in 20 overs on the back of Jonathan Wells’ 68* (46) with the help of six fours. With bowling figures of 3-0-15-1, Stars spinner Sandeep Lamichhane was the best bowler for them.
