Llyod Pope (Player of the Match): "It's great to get over the line in this tournament. It feels great to put the first points on the board after a tough night in the last game.
They (Stars) have a solid batting unit, but the ball came off better from my hand tonight.
(That night) Dan Sams went behind me, and there wasn't much I could think of then.
(On moving on from the 31-run over vs Thunder) A bit of yes or no, pretty nasty things were said on the social media but that's okay."

4:55 PM IST, 9:55 PM Local Time | Adelaide Strikers with a crucial victory in the first game on their home soil! They defeat Melbourne Stars by 16 runs to register their first win of the season and open their account on the points table!
Melbourne Stars won the toss and elected to bowl first, and with the help of some excellent bowling, led by Peter Siddle's 2/21 from 4 overs and Milne's 2 wickets, they were able to restrict the Strikers to 165/6 from their 20 overs.
For Adelaide Strikers, D'Arcy Short's scintillating 60 runs from 42 balls and a late innings cameo from Alex Ross helped them reach the 165 run-mark!
Come the chase, Matt Short gave Adelaide Strikers the dream start by dismissing Ben Duckett for a golden duck in the first over of the chase! Melbourne Stars never recovered from that as they kept losing wickets at regular intervals to make the chase harder and harder.
Both Stoinis and Maxwell looked threatening when they entered the crease but their appearance was short lived. Sam Harper's fighting 48 runs off 44 balls was the hope for Stars before he threw away his wicket to Pope!
A late innings charge from Tom Curran gave the Stars an outside chance as he smashed 25 runs off 22 balls. Eventually, the Adelaide Strikers held onto their nerves and ensured Melbourne Stars fell short by 16 runs to extend their losing streak to 3 games now.
Lloyd Pope was the pick of the bowlers with the figures of 3/21 from his 4 overs. While, Matt Short and Jamie Overton chipped in with 2 wickets each to bowl their team to victory.

19.6 M Short to P Siddle
2 Fuller ball at the stumps, turning into the batter, Siddle turns it away towards deep mid wicket to bag a brace. But, the Stars lose this game by 15 runs to the Strikers.
19.5 M Short to P Siddle
4 FOUR MORE!!! Goes through the offside for another boundary in this last over. Too full, well outside off, the batter squeezes it past extra cover for a boundary.
