elaide Strikers register convincing win

elaide skipper Alex Carey won toss and elected to bat first and at one point, it seemed as if hosts would suffer a batting collapse after being reduced to 72/4 in 11th over. However, middle-order contributions from Ryan Gibson (43*) and, Jake Wearald (51) helped Strikers post a respectable total of 171/5 in ir 20 overs.

In reply, visitors lost key wicket of skipper Aaron Finch for a golden duck before Mackenzie Harvey (34) and, wicket-keeper batsman Sam Harper (31) carried out rescue act to a certain extent with a 67-run stand for second wicket and once duo was dismissed in quick succession, 2018/19 edition winners lost wickets at regular intervals as a result of which ir run chase ran out of fire and brimstone.
