END OF OVER:

  • Jamie Overton32 (14b)
  • Harry Manenti8 (3b)
  • Sean Abbott4-0-59-0
  • Ben Dwarshuis4-0-38-1

That's a terrific recover from Strikers. A gem of a finish provided by Overton. A rare poor night for Abbott with the ball. Murphy's single over will be subject of much debate. Did match-ups go too far? Sixers are safe in the finals, but have to win here to keep pressure on Hurricanes for top spot. A huge 20 overs coming up for Strikers' season

Nick: "Perplexed as to why Abbott's bowled the last over here - coming into the over with 0/38 off 3, while Edwards has 2/22 from 3. I'm all for death over specialists, but if a bowler's going for 13 an over, it's clearly not their night."

Aashish Calla: "Edwards had figures of 3-0-22-2 and still Abbott, despite having a torrid time out there, got the last over - This may end up hurting the Sixers!"

Alex will be with you in a few minutes for the start of the chase

Kiran: "That was a crazy catch, looked like the ball was circling around. It ended up being almost a full length dive despite the fact that he got to the ball with plenty of time. Very difficult to do."

Dwarshuis to Ross, OUT, full and straight, miles into the evening sky, and in the end that's a brilliant catch by Shaw! For a moment it looked like they'd be a misunderstand. Launched into the leg side, Shaw came in from deep square and had to pull out the full dive at the end. Superbly done.

Jake: "Big hitting here from the Universe Ross!"

Dwarshuis to Overton, 1 run, a straight full toss, heaves across the line to deep midwicket

Overton seems in a bit of pain. Jarred the bat in the ground as he completed the second. Looks like the right wrist. He's getting some treatment
