The second half of the match belonged entirely to Lynn, who delivered a masterclass against his former franchise. While Matthew Short and Mackenzie Harvey fell after making starts, Lynn remained immovable at the crease. He reached several personal milestones during the innings, becoming the first player in BBL history to surpass 4,000 career runs while also crossing 1,000 runs for the Strikers. His unbeaten 79 came off just 41 deliveries, featuring six boundaries and six towering sixes that delighted the holiday crowd.
