Sydney Thunder vs Melbourne Stars Knockout Match Scorecard | BBL 14

Full Scorecard: Bit of a bowler-friendly wicket out there. They had a couple of quality batters, Maxwell and Stoinis looked dangerous. We held our nerve, spinners bowled beautifully. It was so loud we could not hear the nick (of Handscomb). Awesome atmosphere. They have been behind us for several years.

We have played finals cricket but have not had many at home. We love playing here and the atmosphere this year has been unbelievable. We knew it was defendable. Some of the wickets were pretty crucial with a small total. The powerplay was going to be a dangerous period, it gets harder after that.

we knew if we got a couple of early wickets, we would be in it. Once we got Maxi, that sort of went a long way (to completely killing the game). He (Warner) has been unbelievable.

He has been so invested, he has been loving his time. We, as a group, owe it to give it back to him and hopefully we can do so.
