Dave: "Still looks like a competitive score but what would 170 plus have been. Thats what they should have reached given their position with five overs to go. " Yep, the chase will begin in a little while to offer answers. Stay tuned.
8:13pm 152 for 8, unders? It was a tricky wicket as expected, Sixers started slow but kept wickets in hand and got a boost in the Surge, where Henriques took down Bartlett for 25. But they lost one and the new batters, in an attempt to go big from the start, fell in a heap. Heat's bowlers stuck to their individual plans, Walter went close to the off-side tramline and hit a length or go slightly full. Johnson kept it away from Abbott's arc in the 19th and used the variable bounce, which has been a factor this evening, to his advantage. Henriques used his luck from dropped chances and had a start-stop innings but was the pick of the batters. A 50-ball 59 might look worse than it is, unless the Sixers stick in.
