After posting a modest total of 7/135, Thunder were under pressure early, but Nathan McAndrew’s brilliant 5/16, including crucial wickets in the middle overs, helped reduce the Stars to 114. Despite a valiant 77 from Glenn Maxwell, the Stars’ chase faltered when Tanveer Sangha dismissed Maxwell and Tom Curran in quick succession.
