It was a slow start to the match after the first ball was delayed for 1 hour and 40 minutes, but there was plenty of action to be had.
Restricted to 8 overs per side, it was set to be a cracking couple of fast paced innings after the Hurricanes won the flip and elected to bowl first.
After a few missed chances by the Hurricanes, the Strikers opening batters took advantage and built up a decent partnership.
It was the final over that saw a run out from Tabatha Saville, restricting the strikes to 1-74.
The start of the second innings was full of suspense as Elyse Villani was dropped on 1, which proved costly for the strikers as she powered on to make 39*.
A quick and powerful stint from Lizelle Lee (21 off 9) helped bring the Hurricanes close to the desired total.
But it was Ruth Johnston who came to the crease to finish the game off in style and smacked two fours to gift the Hurricanes their first victory for the season.
