England seamers Luke Wood and Jamie Overton starred as Adelaide Strikers beat Sydney Thunder by six runs<\/a> in the Big Bash League.<\/p>\n

Overton took 3-25 as Adelaide defended a score of 165-8, having Matthew Gilkes caught for 43 to break a threatening 73-run opening stand with David Warner.<\/p>\n

Thunder lost Sam Billings and Sam Konstas for scores of one and two respectively, but Warner rebuilt alongside Nic Maddinson, adding 44 for the fourth wicket.<\/p>\n

Overton, who like Wood has been named in England’s squad for February’s T20 World Cup<\/a>, returned to break that partnership, bowling Maddinson for 21, and then had compatriot David Willey caught by Matthew Short for eight in the penultimate over.<\/p>\n

The unbeaten Warner, on 66 from 47 balls, remained on strike for the final over with Thunder needing 13 runs for victory, but the wicketless Wood delivered a death bowling masterclass to seal the win for the home side.<\/p>\n

His first three deliveries were dot balls, and Warner could only find a single of his fourth.<\/p>\n

Nathan McAndrew edged a four from the fifth ball, meaning the tail-ender needed to hit a final-ball six to win the match, but he only managed a single off Wood’s last delivery as Thunder finished short on 159-7.<\/p>\n

Adelaide had recovered from 19-2 after being put into bat, with Mackenzie Harvey (38) and Jason Sangha (31) putting on 68 for the third wicket.<\/p>\n

Both batters departed in quick succession, with Harvey falling to Ashton Agar (3-16), but all-rounder Liam Scott struck an unbeaten 49 to ensure Adelaide had a defendable total.<\/p>\n

Thunder’s sixth defeat in seven games means they remain rooted to the bottom of the table and they can now no longer reach the play-offs.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile Adelaide move up one place to fifth with a record of three wins and three losses.<\/p>\n
