That's all from us at ESPNcricinfo tonight. On behalf of Ranjith P and Shashank Kishore, this is Sreshth Shah signing off. See you tomorrow for more BBL action!
9.30pm Experience trumps flair tonight as Siddle keeps cool to finish the game magnificently for Strikers. They remain undefeated as they jump to first. This was also Stars' first defeat. Fireworks at the stadium - a beautiful sight with the night sky in the background. Maxwell, Stoinis and Handscomb kept Stars in the hunt all evening but Rashid and Siddle always kept Strikers ahead of the eight-ball. Don't forget Jono Wells' 68 in the first innings. He is the Man of the Match.. "I was nervous after dropping Maxi," he says, "but credit to Siddle for keeping calm at the death."
Amit Kumar: "Ifs and Buts - Steyn would have been a better swinger choice than Zampa, isnt it.."

Siddle to Zampa, no run
Can the new man hit a six a win it for Stars? Coulter-Nile will be at the non-striker's for the final ball. Surely Siddle doesn't need a reminder about "no no-balls, no wides." Zampa will take strike
Jay: "B Dunk 16 balls for just 17 runs cost stars this match!!"

Stars one shot away from victory as Dunk comes back for the second. Low full toss on middle, and dragged to deep midwicket. Would've been out at the batsman's end if the throw was better

Liam: "Seeing comments like "Rashid Khan is the only one can win this for Strikers" is disrespectful to the Strikers. This is the most well rounded unit in the BBL. They are on the verge of taking out an international worthy Stars team."

Siddle to Maxwell, OUT
would you believe that? Maxwell's idiosyncracy costs him his wicket. Tries to reverse hook this over third man again, but it flies off the bat's toe and dislodges the bails. Stunning innings comes to an end
