Curran's Career Best Hauls Strikers for 83
13 Jan
Summary
- Curran delivered a career-best 4 wickets for 10 runs.
- Strikers were bowled out for their second-lowest total of 83.
- Stars secured victory despite a slight wobble and injury concern.
Reece Curran delivered a career-defining performance, taking 4 wickets for 10 runs, his best figures in T20 cricket. This exceptional bowling spell contributed to the Strikers being dismissed for a mere 83 runs, their second-lowest total in Big Bash League history, despite batting for nearly 20 overs.
Chasing the modest total, the Stars faced some early pressure, reaching 43 for 3. Marcus Stoinis remained unbeaten on 23, but had to leave the field after a thumb injury. Tom Rogers anchored the chase with 32 runs, navigating the team towards victory.
The Strikers' bowling strategy, featuring only two front-line seamers and three specialist wristspinners, ultimately proved insufficient. The Stars successfully reached their target, securing a win that was made significantly easier by Curran's bowling prowess.
