Commentary

7:05 PM local time (2:05 PM IST): A season of what-ifs for both these teams, and now, it has come to an end here, at the lovely Adelaide Oval. Lots of thinking to do for both camps for the next season, but, some good memories to cherish for Adelaide Strikers, as they end their run with a good win! The action now shifts to the Perth Stadium, where Perth Scorchers will go up against Melbourne Stars from 4:45 PM local time (2:45 PM IST). You can switch tabs and join the fun, right here. For now, this is Sourabh and Bidipto taking your leave. Keep following Sportskeeda! 
Tabraiz Shamsi is the Player Of The Match for his 4/15 in 3.5 overs with the ball
6:53 PM local time (1:53 PM IST): Adelaide Strikers win by 8 wickets with 49 balls to spare!

Matthew Short 30 (22) | Tabraiz Shamsi - 4/15 (3.5)
Will Sutherland 38 (28) | Callum Stow - 1/8 (2)

The home side romped home! Adelaide Strikers chased this total down professionally, clinically and convincingly! Yes, they did lose both their openers along the way, but, everyone who batted, made sure that the target is reached in quick time.

Alex Carey copped a blow to the side of his head, but apart from that, looked seamless with his stroke-play! Even the shot he got out to, was so well timed! Matthew Short played well, but Callum Stow's googlies bothered him a bit. And that was that from a Melbourne Renegades point of view!

Two catches for Jake Fraser-McGurk, both of which were good. Otherwise, a low-spirited body language, a lack of intensity and a whole lot of disappointment!

Chris Lynn and Liam Scott finished things off for the Strikers with a nice 33-run 3rd wicket partnership. They took the Power Surge immediately, and made sure to get the job done inside that 2-over phase!

The Strikers end the campaign on 8 points from 10 games, but the Renegades finish 7th in the standings with only 6 points.
Adelaide Strikers Scored 100 runs in 11.5 overs
11.5 Sam Elliott to Liam Scott, dabs it straight to the point fielder and they go through for the single, no direct hit and ADELAIDE STRIKERS HAVE HAMMERED MELBOURNE RENEGADES AND THEY END THE SEASON WITH A BIG WIN BY 8 WICKETS WITH 49 BALLS REMAINING.

Strikers finish the season at the sixth spot and Renegades succumb to their seventh loss of the season and they will end their campaign number seven just above the bottom-placed Thunder with a loss that reflects their season.
11.4 Sam Elliott to Chris Lynn, another short delivery, pulled all along the ground to deep mid-wicket for a single. Scores level now!
11.3 Sam Elliott to Chris Lynn, no run, short again, this time wide and Lynn mistimes the slap to the cover fielder off the backfoot
11.2 Sam Elliott to Liam Scott, short delivery banged into the surface, Scott gets high and pulls off the inside half to deep square leg for one
11.1 Sam Elliott to Chris Lynn, full and wide, Lynn drags it off the chalk end to deep mid-wicket, just a single off the free hit
11.1 Sam Elliott to Chris Lynn, NO BALL! Slower ball gone wrong, pitches outside the cut strip wide of off. FREE HIT coming up, as if Strikers need one here

10.6 Brendan Doggett to Liam Scott, FOUR, pitched up at the stumps, Scott thumps it over the bowler's head and collects a boundary
Oh! We have a slight technical glitch with the live stream from the host broadcaster's end. Should not be a big delay though, please stay with us, we will come right back. 
10.5 Brendan Doggett to Liam Scott, gloves the pull over Rizwan for a couple of runs, another fumble around the fine leg region halfway down to the fence. Sums up the day for Gades!
First look at Andrew Tye today, he ran well, chased it nicely but, could not keep it in play! 
10.4 Brendan Doggett to Liam Scott, FOUR, that is a proper teaser for the fielder and in the end he flicks it into the ropes and takes a tumble. Very full at the stumps, sweetly punched down the ground and AJ Tye who is on as the sub gave it a good chase. Got hands to it, tried to flick it in but it went over the fence instead.
Scott is eyeing a big one now. 
10.3 Brendan Doggett to Liam Scott, full and straight, squeezed off the inside half of the bat past the man at square leg in the ring. JFM runs around from mid-wicket and keeps it to two
10.2 Brendan Doggett to Chris Lynn, full and wide, Lynn reaches out and he loses his balance and falls on the turf with his knees. Mamages to get it out to deep cover for one
So, the Strikers are wasting no time now!
