Very Slow SCG wicket tonight helping the Thunder spinners and medium paces - some unlucky dismissals as well which didn't help - Philippe for an example - Sixes need 140 as a minimum and will need to bowl very very well to move on to the GF against the Hurricanes.

Big last 4 overs including 2 power surge overs

[King Salvo]

Pace off on this wicket and hopefully some movement from the pitch with the new ball to defend the 151 the Sixes made.

Gees the Sixes are making it hard for themselves Shaw should have taken that one - easy as and dropped it - Not the Sixes night so far - have to bowl the Thunder out and must take those chances.

A very disappointing end to the season for the 6ers. Probably for the best though as I read somewhere that had they made the final they would have been further decimated by the loss of 3 more players to the Australia A team making the final a joke. I’m on the Cane train now as I hate the Thunder and am getting increasingly annoyed by the media led Warner show.

Hurricanes should be too strong having the better batting line-up and bowling attack on this wicket in Hobart - Hurricanes 6 from 6 in Hobart- Warner needs a big score for Thunder to post a 180 plus score with strong contributions from Billings , Jason Sangha , Gilkes and Davies required. The Thunder spinners of Green , Andrews and Tanveer Sangha could play a part on what looks like a very dry wicket.

Hurricane's win the bat flip/toss and have elected to Bowl

[King Salvo]

Thunder off to a flyer 0/58 after 6 overs- Wicket looks a belter so far so have to wait and see what happens when the ball gets a bit of wear and tear.

[King Salvo]

Hurricanes need wickets or they will be chasing a 200 or so score.

Yep I know. Still he’s a pretty divisive character. I didn’t mind watching him bat when he was on song though. I just find his personality a little grating at times.

Drinks Break - Thunder 0/97 after 10 overs - 200 plus on the cards unless the Hurricanes take wickets - - Hobart Crowd quiet as - can hear a pin drop

[King Salvo]

Hurricanes double up for wickets - Warner out for 48 and Gilkes plays on first ball - Ellis close to a hat trick just short of David - Billings played an unusual shot and almost spooned it to David - neither a defence nor an attacking one.

[King Salvo]

Hurricanes pulling it back - Billings bowled - Thunder 3/134 - 2 power surge overs to come - Thunder may take it later now - Sangha needs to bat through now and be there during the power surge - 180 still on the cards which Thunder will need as a minimum.

[King Salvo]

Thunder need something here - poor shot by Sangha who needed to be there for the power surge so not sure why he would play that shot last ball of the 15th over when the 2 power surge overs were the next two - 4 overs to go.

[King Salvo]

Thunder doing themselves no favours - a 200 plus score on the cards after 10 overs ( 0/97) - now will be lucky to make 180 - 6/168 after 19

[King Salvo]

Thunder finish with 7/182 - Hurricanes need 183 to win.
