Kapil: "Sixers batting again collapsed. Maddinson and Lumb were thoroughly disappointing and they could have easily got to 160-170 but Haddin and Henriques just didn't give themselves a chance. Had they played smartly, 170 would have been a formidable target"

samraat : "Not sure Whether it is match winning total in Big final or not BUt certainly Sixers have something on the board to fight for after 80/6"

5.45pm Something to bowl at then. A total that didn't look coming when they lost three early wickets. Mitch Johnson was superb once again in the Power-play, but Brad Haddin's counter-attack and Moises Henriques' calmness helped them overcome a wobble. Just when you though they'd done enough came two quick wickets that once again turned the tide. In the end, Botha's cameo has ensured Sixers have a reasonable total to defend. Join us shortly for the chase

Bresnan to Dwarshuis, OUT, roars in joy! Ripper of a yorker, Dwarshuis is late on the attempted squeeze behind point. This was full, straight and too good for a lower order batsman. 'You miss, I hit' stuff.
