Glenn Maxwell | Player of the Match: Not really (sunk in). Came in and went straight back out, a couple of young guys needed guidance and so I had to be there. It has been a tough season and not gone according to plan. But hopefully we have done enough to bring people back to support this franchise next season.

23:07 Local Time, 12:07 GMT, 17:37 IST: The Hurricanes, having rested their regular bowlers, more or less treated this as a practice game. They never looked like winning from ball one and sometimes, these kind of losses could just ignite something spectacular before the playoffs. The Stars, on the other hand, peaked a little too late and missed the playoffs berth by just one point. They missed their key players due to Covid for a good few games during the middle of the season and it clearly hurt them badly. Today, it was a complete Maxi show who treated the local fans with some incredible ball-hitting and became the first player to notch up 150 in the league. He didn't have to worry much with the relatively inexperienced bowling as the game got sealed in the first half.
