BBL|12 Sydney Thunder vs Adelaide Strikers Match 5: Thunder struck down for just 15 by the Strikers
After Adelaide Strikers had made 139/9 batting first, in their 20 overs, which seemed a below par score at the time, Sydney Thunder were demolished for just 15, in 35 balls, at the Sydney Showground Stadium today.
Match Summary
Sydney Thunder 15/10 (5.5 ov)
Adelaide Strikers 139/9 (20 ov)
Adelaide Strikers won by 124 runs
Every Thunder batter seemed to come to the crease and make an error, with excellent fielding by the Strikers and a plethora of catches for the keeper. It was one of those days where every edge was caught and everything seemed to go the Strikers' way.
Henry Thornton took five wickets and Wes Agar took four as they demolished the Thunder. The Thunder were all out in just six overs, a truly miserable performance.
However, credit must be given to the Strikers, who were simply on fire. The Thunder seem stunned by the events and don't seem to have much to say about what happened. It's a game that they will surely want to forget and move on from as if it never occurred.
