The Strikers' innings got off to a good start with Michael Klinger reaching 44 from 33 before he was bowled by Luke Feldman, while Alex Hales hit a quick 16.
After the first wicket the run-rate slowed a little and both Phillip Hughes (16) and Callum Ferguson (22) scored at less than a run a ball. Nathan Reardon's rapid-fire 32 helped his side to a reasonable, yet beatable, 153-6.
Thunder did not get off to a good start in their innings as Daniel Hughes was dismissed for a duck while his opening partner Ryan Carters hit just six.
However, the middle order helped them to get to within one six of a super-over, with Michael Hussey's 83 from 56 proving to be just not quite enough for his team as Chris Woakes could not hit the required boundary.
