Pollard's bash-a-thon has given this game a new complexion. The Strikers were ailing until Ferguson and Reardon got things back on track. And then Pollard gave them a power-boost. Back with the chase in a bit.

Despite Polly bash-a-thon, strikers went down to the heat winning the game with the last ball.

Polly took 2 wickets from 4 overs for 38 runs. Scorecard

Gayle run out for 12....

Samuels gets a wicket.

this is where Pollard feels most comfortable and "at home" I hope WI selectors are taking note and stop punishing him by sending him to play test cricket and ODIs!

Pollard also took 2-38 from his four overs.

Samuels could only manage four when it was his turn to bat....

Key match-ups:

· Joe Burns v Nathan Coulter-Nile – Heat v Scorchers, Tue 18 Dec. These two young guns are developing into influential players for their teams

· Murali v Ponting – Renegades v Hurricanes, Wed 19 Dec

· Finch v Bollinger – Renegades v Hurricanes, Wed 19 Dec

· Gayle v Pollard – Thunder v Strikers, Thu 20 Dec

· Nannes / Tremain v Strikers top six – Thunder v Strikers, Thu 20 Dec. Can the Thunder pace duo continue their strong form and keep the high scoring Strikers line-up in check?
