Hurricanes sneak home in a bizarre rain-affected game that had plenty of twists and turns. Stars will rue some execution and tactical errors. They certainly had their chances to win. Hurricanes now travel to Sydney to face Sixers on Friday night. The winner of that will face Scorchers in Perth in the final on Sunday. Thanks for your company tonight. See you on Friday.

Ben McDermott on Fox: "The heart-rate was definitely was going up in that last over. Chris Jordan had a little niggle on his calf and I think he strained it a little bit more running between the wickets at the end. Hopefully he pulls up alright for the next game. It was good to get the game in and a nice result for us in the end. I'm pretty sure that Nathan will be OK for Sydney."

11pm Hurricanes survive and advance to face the Sixers on Sydney on Friday. A crazy game. The rain has finally stopped. Stars will rue two costly dropped catches and then Glenn Maxwell only faced four balls in the seven over chase. Stars title drought will extend another year.

Matthew: "What. A. Match! Owen with the ice cold nerves."

Sunitha : "Winning the toss in curtailed games is an advantage sure but ,you still need to execute on top of your game. Congratulations HH for beating the odds !"

Ahmed: "Two different scenarios, Webster denied single in the last over and got two huge sixes but Maxwell denied double in the second last over with a dot ball to follow cost them huge."
