Riley Meredith is player of the match for his 3 for 29. Honourable mention to the skipper Matthew Wade for his 83 not out from 54 balls. Hurricanes embed themselves in 4th spot and create some separation from Adelaide Strikers in 5th. The double header continues with Melbourne Derby up next at Docklands.

7.10pm Thunder's six-game winning streak is over. Great win by the Hurricanes. An extraordinary spell from Riley Meredith turned the game. Hurricanes took 3 wickets in four balls with Meredith knocking over Ollie Davies and Ben Cutting with high pace. D'Arcy Short picked up Daniel Sams and Thunder fell in a heap after earlier having the game under control.
