Dale Steyn took the new ball to bowl the second over of the Strikers innings. After a dot ball to open the over, Jake Weatherald belted Steyn over his head for two back-to-back sixes. The two colossal strikes went over mid-off and long-off respectively to handover Dale Steyn a start to forget. Weatherald then backed up his massive sixes with two consecutive boundaries, both past mid-off. The right-arm pacer finally got his man when Weatherald mistimed a lofted shot straight to Glenn Maxwell at mid-on on the final ball of the over.
