As it happened: Adelaide Strikers displayed an all-round performance on Wednesday to defeat Melbourne Stars by 11 runs in the ongoing Big Bash League (BBL) here at Adelaide Oval. Chasing 163, Melbourne Stars were starring down the barrel after being reduced to 63/4 in the tenth over. Nic Maddinson (7), Marcus Stoinis (5), Nick Larkin (19) and Glenn Maxwell (19) all failed to stay at the crease for a long time. Peter Handscomb tried his best to keep Stars’ chase alive but the wickets kept on tumbling at the other end. In the end, Handscomb was not able to take the side over the line and Stars had to face an 11-run defeat. (Courtesy: ANI)
