Thank you for your company. We hope you'll join us tomorrow for the third match of BBL 13 between Adelaide Strikers and Brisbane Heat. I'm Rvel Zahid, take care and goodnight!

Steven Smith, Player of the Match: I thought it was great performance...got off to a pretty good start. We had to dig deep there...McGruk played a good knock, Finchy did not quite get going but he hung around and Sutherland towards the end...we did well to hold our nerves. Our bowlers bowled good overs and that shifted momentum in our favour. We've got a very good culture (in the team). Hopefully it will be a pretty good season for us. It was nice to get off to a start and get a bit of momentum and get to that score, I felt it was a par total. Look, I love playing Big Bash and like opening the batting, it's good fun, it's a great bunch of guys and I really enjoy playing; looking forward to a successful summer. Pakistan is a good side with both bat and bowl. I love playing at the SCG, probably my favourite place to bat in the world, it's been kind to me...I'm looking forward to it, can't wait.

Plenty of twists and turns in this fascinating game of cricket but Sixers made sure they were one step ahead at crucial moments and got a pretty decent total on the board and then picked wickets at regular intervals to thwart Renegades' chase. Tom Curran was ice-cool towards the end and executed his plans to perfection while Sean Abbott was hard to hit as well. Steve O-Keefe bowled some quiet overs in the middle that sapped the momentum out of Renegades' innings. Fraser-McGruk gave them a scare with his clean hitting but they left too many runs in the end even though Will Sutherland took the game deep with a doughty half-century but it wasn't an unblemished batting performance as a unit. Earlier, Steve Smith showed his pyrotechnics and hit the ball effortlessly into the gaps. He surely entertained the crowd a lot with his incredible hitting tonight!
