A comprehensive 7-wicket victory for the Stars and they go top of the table. This is their fourth win in six games and it couldn't have come in a more convincing fashion. The bowlers set them up with a disciplined performance and the batsmen made sure that they didn't blow away the advantage. The David Hussey-led team have never failed to qualify for the semi-final stages of the BBL and look good once again.
