8.56pm What a turnaround! After a cracking opening partnership between Short and Wade for 145 in under 15 overs, the Sixers have found their way back with eight wickets for just 43 runs. Looking set for 200 at one point of time, the Hurricanes have been restricted to 188. Sean Abbott was the best bowler for the Sixers; he started very well with the new ball and then returned to remove the two openers and finish with 2-32 after bowling 10 dot balls. Nobody could score more than 11 in that Hurricanes collapse, which will disappoint them. I'll be back soon with the chase

Andy: "Suprised Christian didn't get the last over, he was bowling well to the in-form openers"

Abhijato: "Well, that's one way to bat in the death overs ..." Someone called them RCB, right?

Dwarshuis to Winter, OUT, run-out appeal at the keeper's end as Philippe gets a direct hit with his gloves on. Winter didn't get any bat on the last ball outside off, they went for the bye but Philippe did well to collect that cleanly and then hit the stumps with an under-arm throw and Boland was well short

SM Boland run out 0 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

Dwarshuis to Boland, 1 leg bye, that's not a hat-trick ball, on the pads down leg and they settle for a leg bye

On a hat-trick

W
Dwarshuis to David, OUT, the Singapore Slinger has found long-off. Full and straight, David was waiting with an open stance and smacked that flat and straight down the ground where Vince pouched it while tumbling forward

TH David c Vince b Dwarshuis 7 (4b 1x4 0x6) SR: 175.00

19.3
W
Dwarshuis to Ellis, OUT, another one falls, the collapse continues! Short ball, top edge and taken by the keeper. Ellis went after the short ball, got a leading edge which ballooned behind the stumps and landed in Philippe's gloves

NT Ellis c †Philippe b Dwarshuis 2 (3b 0x4 0x6) SR: 66.66

Dwarshuis to David, 1 run, nearly a yorker and it's clipped to leg a bit awkwardly for one

Dwarshius for the last over instead of Brathwaite or Christian

Ball to David, FOUR, almost in the block hole outside off, David swings for a thick outside edge and gets four lucky runs fine on the off side
18.6

Ball to David, 1 wide, third wide of the over, this one well down leg as David moves across

Abhijato: "So all that Short needed to get back his form was his partner-in-crime Wade! xD"

Ball to David, 1 wide, full and wide outside off again, and called another wide
18.5

Ball to David, 2 runs, bangs in the short ball and David calls for two as soon as he pulls to keep the short ball down

David the X-factor on strike

18.4
1
Ball to Ellis, 1 run, full and wide, he slices it to third man for one

Are the Hurricanes crumbling after that opening stand? Nathan Ellis at No. 7

18.3
W
Ball to Malan, OUT, excellent diving catch from Henriques at cover! Malan made room and drove the full ball in the air, Henriques (with two caps on) put in a full-length dive to his right and made it look easy

DJ Malan c Henriques b Ball 11 (8b 1x4 0x6) SR: 137.50

Harry: "Rohith- I would play him in T20I's- he's shown his capability tonight."

Ball to Malan, 2 runs, short ball pulled away wide of long on for two
18.1

Ball to Jacks, OUT, holes out to long-on! Around the wicket and well wide of the stumps on off, without any pace, and Jacks lofts it down the ground but doesn't get the distance. Christian runs in and slides at the end to get both hands to it comfortably

WG Jacks c Christian b Ball 1 (3b 0x4 0x6) SR: 33.33

1
Abbott to Jacks, 1 run, leading edge to cover but the fielder is at the edge of the circle and Jacks is off the mark. Looks like Jacks closed the face of the bat bit too early on the leg side and hence got the edge from the shoulder of the bat
17.5
0
Abbott to Jacks, no run, nice and tight on the off stump, Jacks defends it back and Abbott dives to his left to stop it
17.4
W
Abbott to Short, OUT, nails the yorker and Abbott gets his second wicket of the night, he's removed both openers today and been the best Sixers bowler by a distance. It was a leg-stump yorker that Short tried putting away after making room but couldn't connect

DJM Short b Abbott 72 (52b 7x4 3x6) SR: 138.46

17.3

Abbott to Short, FOUR, short ball and Short has slapped that back with such brute force that Abbott ducked under that and it's crashed into the long-on boundary
17.2
1
Abbott to Malan, 1 run, steers that away wide of cover point for one
17.1
4
Abbott to Malan, FOUR, not that much room but it's enough for Malan to free his arms and send that crashing in the gap, all along the ground through the covers for four

Abbott for his last over

END OF OVER:
17 | 6 Runs | HH: 163/2 | RR: 9.58

Aryan: "@Mark, do you mean to say the Hurricanes are the RCB of the BBL?" Here comes the RCB jokes

16.6

Brathwaite to Malan, 1 run, angling into him and he pulls it gently to long leg for one

The physio is out to check on Malan as per protocols

16.5

Brathwaite to Malan, no run, pins him on the helmet, but thankfully it was a slower ball at 112.6kmh. Malan looked to pull the short ball initially but the ball kept chasing him as he took his eyes off the ball, and hit the back of his helmet

Rohith: "This will be an interesting dilemma. Where will Aus play Wade? Against SA in tests or NZ in T20Is."

16.4
2
Brathwaite to Malan, 2 runs, charges down and scythes the short ball past a diving point fielder, gets two this time
