Sydney Sixers win by eight wickets with five overs to spare. An almost perfect all-round display. Josh Philippe will take the headlines, and rightly so, but it was an excellent performance in the field that set up the match. All the Sixers bowlers played their part and they were very good in the field. The Scorchers just not at the races today. Plenty of them to think about. "He's a freak," Daniel Hughes says of Philippe. So the Sixers have laid down an early marker. I'll wrap things up there for tonight. We'll be back tomorrow as the defending champions Melbourne Renegades face Sydney Thunder. Until then, it's goodbye and thanks for joining us.

Richardson to Philippe, SIX, on the roof of the ladies stand! What a way to finish it That's a thunderous blow to secure a crushing victory. The ball is lodged into the gutter, Philippe picking this off the stumps and whipping it miles over deep midwicket. What a shot, what an innings
