10.20pm A rare high-scoring encounter in this year's BBL is won by the team defending a target, which is even rarer in modern-day T20 cricket. It was an innings of ups and downs, just like how T20s often progress.

The Strikers needed 13 to win off the last over, but Jofra Archer found his lengths, his lines and some appreciable pace to finish with 4-0-15-3, a spell that turned out to be the difference between victory. The short boundary made things interesting and for a while, Travis Head and Colin Ingram made batting look incredibly easy, but they fell a few balls short eventually.

Jigar Shah: "So to conclude Archer 4-0-15-3 outbolwed Rashid Khan today 4-0-18-2 and thats the difference between two sides. "

1
Archer to Rashid Khan, 1 run

superb last over from Archer. Short down leg, pulled away towards midwicket. Archer sprints after it, but can't get there. The Strikers can't run nine either, so the Hurricanes put up a seven-run victory

19.5
1
Archer to Neser, 1 run

the crowd goes wild. Full and straight, hit out to mid-off. And without an extra, this game is done

10 off 2

19.4
1
Archer to Rashid Khan, 1 run

superb bowling, a 144 yorker on leg. Not much Rashid can do but jam it out to mid-off

11 off 3

19.3
2
Archer to Rashid Khan, 2 runs

good length on leg, Rashid backs away and swings, badly bunted away towards midwicket. Falls in no-man's land, for two!

Rashid Khan. 13 off 4. Strikers need a boundary in the next two balls.

19.2
W
Archer to Neser, OUT

gone? Bye or run-out. A yorker outside off, creeps underneath the bat. Wade rips off the glove and throws the stumps down at the batsman's end with Wells short. Is that the match? Three dots in succession. The game has swung

Jonathan Wells run out (†Wade) 28 (18b 0x4 2x6) SR: 155.55

Michael Neser. Short boundary on the off side, long on the leg side. That was such a big wicket. Mid-off and third man are in

19.1
W
Archer to Lehmann, OUT

plumb in front! 144 kph, a low full toss and dead straight. Lehmann misses a flick, misses the ball and is struck in front of leg. Was it sliding down? Didn't look like it. Another dot ball. New man in. Hurricanes in front now?

Jake Lehmann lbw b Archer 16 (8b 1x4 1x6) SR: 200

Archer will bowl the last over. 13 off 6 to win. 12 for a Super Over. Mid-off is in, square leg is up. Cover and point too.

18.6
Mills to Wells, no run

DOT BALL! Short outside off, and quick. Wells tries to cut the ball through third man but fails to connect. Good idea, but just missed out on four

13 off 7. Strikers in front. But a big ball coming up.

18.5
1
Mills to Lehmann, 1 run

another back of the hand slower delivery outside off, pulled to deep midwicket, just one more

18.5
1w
Mills to Lehmann, 1 wide

strays down leg for a wide. Wants to cramp the batsman for room, but can't miss your slot

18.4
1
Mills to Wells, 1 run

nicely bowled, another slower delivery outside off, Wells thinks of slog-sweeping, taps a cut to point instead.

Around the wicket. Third man is up

18.3
1
Mills to Lehmann, 1 run

107 kph, a chip to mid-on. Another back-of-the-hand slower delivery outside off, bunted away towards mid-on. Did not read it at all, straight up

A wicket changes things. A boundary does too. The short boundary is now on the off side

18.2
1
Mills to Wells, 1 run

another awful delivery. Full down leg again, Wells misses out on five runs, clipped down to fine leg.

18.2
6
Mills to Wells, SIX runs

big six. Poor ball. The slower ball but on middle and leg, Wells walks across and helps himself to six over square leg, just flipped around the corner. Bad bowling

18.1
1w
Mills to Wells, 1 wide

excellently bowled, oh no, wide called. 144 kph, a bouncer outside off, Wells is hurried for pace, misses a pull, but it rises over the head, good call

Right in the balance now. 25 off 12. Mills to bowl out

Christian to Lehmann, SIX runs

Christian errs and Lehmann goes big. Full around off, Lehmann shuffles across, gets into position and slogs a sweep over midwicket. Short boundary

31 off 13. A boundary eases so much pressure

17.5
2
Christian to Lehmann, 2 runs

a slower wide delivery outside off, jammed away to long-off for two more. Good running, 10 off this over

17.4
4
Christian to Lehmann, FOUR runs

a slower delivery outside off, 113 kph, drilled to the deep cover boundary. No man there with every one focussing on the leg side

17.3
2
Christian to Lehmann, 2 runs

a slower full toss outside off, 111 kph, dragged to long-on with such bad timing that they get two. Just terrific bowling from Christian, a clear plan every ball

17.2
Christian to Lehmann, no run

full and wide outside off, 115 kph, carved to point. DOT

17.2
1w
Christian to Lehmann, 1 wide

a wide yorker outside off, concedes a wide. With batsmen able to hit sixes off their first delivery, Christian wasn't taking the risk
