44 runs were needed off 15 balls as the rain was steady in Hobart. A boundary off the last ball by Harper brought it down to 37 off the last two before he was retired out. Barring a six, Rishad Hossain kept his composure in the penultimate over to leave the Stars requiring 26 off the last over. Stars’ captain Marcus Stoinis hit the first ball off the final over for six before he sliced it straight to deep backward-point. With 19 required off the last four balls, Hilton Cartwright slammed 4,4,6 as the equation came down to five off the final delivery. Owen kept his composure off the final ball and bowled a wide yorker as Cartwright could only squeeze it for a single as the Hurricanes clinched victory by three runs.
