End of over. Over 20. 5 runs. Bowler: Tom Curran. Sydney Thunder: 128/10(rr 6.40)

Wicket. OUT! Caught. Tom Curran to Ryan Hadley. Slower length ball, outside off stump moves in front Scoop, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled, caught by Harper. A disciplined and well-executed bowling display from the Melbourne Stars as they restricted the Sydney Thunder to a below-par total. Haris Rauf led the attack superbly, combining raw pace and cutters with excellent control to claim three key wickets. For the Thunder, Matthew Gilkes looked promising before falling for 24, while Shadab Khan and Sam Billings attempted to rebuild with useful contributions in the middle order, but it ultimately wasn't enough to push the total to a competitive level. Join us shortly for the run chase.
