Strikers win by 15 runs. Stars have now lost their first three matches of this campaign. In a 10 game league stage, even with (over)generous qualification rules that is a massive handicap to overcome. #cricket#T20#BBL14#ASvMS
Milne hands Lloyd Pope his third wicket of the innings, holing out to deep long off. Stars 125-8 in the 18th over, need 41 more runs from 2.3 overs. Pope has 3-17 with two balls left in his spell. #cricket#T20#BBL14#ASvMS
The Stars continue to demonstrate how not to handle a run chase. They are now 115-7 after 16 overs, needing 51 from the last four overs. Lloyd Pope has been gifted figures of 3-0-14-2 by utterly mindless batting against him. #cricket#T20#BBL14#ASvMS
Stars now 85-5 in the 12trh over, needing 82 more to win from 8.2 overs. Hilton Cartwright the latest awful dismissal, charging at Lloyd Pope, missing an being bowled, #cricket#BBL14#T20#ASvMS
Melbourne Stars Men not currently looking like doing a whole lot better in #BBL14 than Melbourne Stars Women did in #WBBL10. Chasing 166 they are currently 79-4 after 10 overs, needing 87 more off the last 10, and they have already lost two on the bounce to start. #cricket#T20#BBL14#ASvMS
Strikers going well, largely due to poor bowling by the Stars - D'Arcy Short is scoring at a ridiculous rate without having to make anything happen. Strikers 37-1 after their four overs of Power Play to start the innings, Short 18* (10). #cricket#T20#BBL14#ASvMS
