One run. Luke Wood to Nathan McAndrew. Length ball, down leg side on the back foot pulling, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to deep square leg for 1 run. That's it! Adelaide Strikers win by six runs in a thrilling finish. What a last-over victory for the Strikers! Luke Wood held his nerve and bowled a brilliant final over under immense pressure to seal the win. Jamie Overton was outstanding, bowling superbly and picking up three crucial wickets, while Lloyd Pope played his part with two wickets. The Sydney Thunder batters fought hard but fell just short of the finish line.
