Get Ball by Ball Commentary of Sydney Sixers vs Melbourne Renegades, Big Bash League 2020, 6th Match

Josh Philippe is Player of the Match: "It was nice to make some runs but it was a wonderful team effort, I did a lot of work with Simon Katich at RCB, and Finch, De Villiers, Kohli, I pretty much chewed their ears off about batting. Great to get the tournament off to a good start."

He is leading the Golden Cap standings too, not a bad night's work. That wraps things up for tonight. Gnasher is hacking out his report as we speak. But plenty more cricket to come today, not least the Lanka Premier League semi-final in Hambantota. See you then!

9.42pm Well... what a thumping. Set up by the Sixers' batting, with Philippe and Silk in glorious free-flowing form, and sealed by the bowlers, with Dwarshuis leading the line with a remarkable haul of 4 for 13. He was backed up by some exceptional catching, and aided by some questionable shot selection. It's back to the drawing board for Renegades, after their own thumping win over Scorchers on Saturday.

They did at least sneak past their lowest total in BBL history - 57 against the Stars in 2015, but the margin of defeat is a new record, and by some distance!

10.4

Dwarshuis to Richardson, OUT, round the wicket, t-i-m-b-e-r! All out for 60! That is an absolute massacre, and the Champions are properly up and running in this year's BBL after their false start on the opening night.

KW Richardson b Dwarshuis 13 (10b 0x4 1x6) SR: 130.00

10.3

Dwarshuis to Richardson, no run, full length outside off, passes the bat on the full as Richardson misses out

10.2

Dwarshuis to Richardson, SIX, absolutely Kane-ed into the stands! On a good length, right in the arc for a carefree tailender to give it a bit of yeetage!

10.1

Dwarshuis to Holland, 1 run, right up to the blockhole, open-faced push to backward point

END OF OVER:
10 | 7 Runs | MR: 53/9 (153 runs required from 60 balls, RR: 5.30, RRR: 15.30)

Steve O'Keefe3-0-16-3

The Bash Boost, in case you were still counting, belongs to Sydney!

9.6

Brathwaite to Richardson, no run, a swish and a miss! Through the swipe like a dose of the pox. Misses leg stump by a whisker.

9.5

Brathwaite to Richardson, 2 runs, slapped through the line, over the bowler's head and into space at long-off

9.4

Brathwaite to Richardson, 2 runs, biffed around the corner, hitting Brathwaite off his length to no great effect, but finds enough of a gap to come back for two

9.3

Brathwaite to Holland, 1 run, tantalising tonking from the tail, every ball is plugging just short of the fielders now. This time it's third man on an uppercut

9.2

Brathwaite to Richardson, 1 run, panned out to midwicket, one bounce to the boundary rider

9.1

Brathwaite to Holland, 1 run, slogged to the leg side, right underneath the shot, but Brathwaite has too much ground to gallop in his followthrough

END OF OVER:
9 | 3 Runs 2 Wkts | MR: 46/9 (160 runs required from 11 overs, RR: 5.11, RRR: 14.54)

8.6

O'Keefe to Holland, 1 run, cuffed to long-on. Gosh, this is quite the non-event

8.5

O'Keefe to Richardson, 1 run, better contact on the club to leg as deep midwicket gathers

8.4

O'Keefe to Holland, 1 run, cuffed into the deep .... surely not.... no. Falls short, a mishit fortunately

8.3

O'Keefe to Hatzoglou, OUT, stand and slog, under-edge into the leg stump! Hatzoglou gallops to the pitch, doesn't get there, and miscues his mow, down into the crease. Ping go the zing bails for the umpteenth time. This is abject!
