Matthew Wade, D'Arcy Short lead Hobart Hurricanes' 10-wicket rout of Adelaide Strikers

Hobart Hurricanes 0 for 158 (Wade 84*, Short 73*) beat Adelaide Strikers 5 for 154 (Ingram 67, Archer 2-23, Faulkner 2-24) by 10 wickets

Matthew Wade and D’Arcy Short dismantled Adelaide Strikers to record only the second ever 10-wicket victory in the eight-year history of the Big Bash League, at the same time extending their lead at the top of the competition table.

Perth Scorchers had done the trick over Melbourne Renegades via the innings of Shaun Marsh and Michael Klinger in December 2015, getting to a target of 171 with eight balls remaining. But Wade and Short continued to lead the way for the Hurricanes, the captain working as the initial aggressor before Short began to catch-up, reeling in the Strikers with a yawning 19 balls to spare.
