Match Details
Earlier, after being invited to bat first, the Stars posted 183 runs for the loss of five wickets in 20 overs. A swashbuckling inning from Joe Clarke (101* off 66)💪 helped the Stars post a 183-run total. Joe Clarke amassed the first century of the BBL 2022-23 on this occasion. On the flip side, Riley Meredith scalped a couple of wickets for the Hurricanes, while Patrick Dooley and Shadab Khan shared one wicket.
In response to 183 runs, the Hurricanes didn’t get off to a good start as their opener struggled to score quickly in the powerplay, and they lost Ben McDermott (17 off 11) in the fourth over of the inning, and he was soon followed by his co-partner D Arcy Short, who departed after scoring 15 runs off 15 balls. Skipper Matthew Wade rotated the strike sensibly, but the required run rate was climbing, so he decided to go big but didn’t time the ball that well and departed after scoring 35 runs off 35 balls.
Jimmy Neesham and Tim David scored 15 runs in the first over of the power surge, but in the second over of the power surge, both Neesham (16 off 11) and David (24 off 17) lost their wickets. The Hurricanes kept losing wickets at regular intervals and were able to score only 145 runs for the loss of nine wickets.
On the flip side, Adam Zampa and Luke Wood scalped three wickets each for the Stars and Coulter-Nile scalped a couple of wickets while Boult extracted one wicket.
