Fri, Jan 22, '16

ADELAIDE, Australia (CMC) — West Indies and Jamaica stars Andre Russell and Stafanie Taylor played minor roles yesterday, but their Sydney Thunder franchises still did enough to secure spots in the men’s and women’s final of the Big Bash League here.

Playing at Adelaide Oval, the Thunder men’s side trounced hosts Adelaide Strikers by 54 runs, while at the same venue, the Thunder’s women eked out an eight-run victory over Perth Scorchers.

Both the men’s and women’s side will know their opponents in Sunday’s final following the second semi-finals in Melbourne today.
