10:27pm And that is the win for Sydney Thunder. A big enough win in T20s anyway, but they were worried about 20 minutes ago. They'll think about why they couldn't clean this innings up a long while ago, having Sixers five down in seven overs. Top knocks from Curran and Abbott, but Fawad Ahmed's double wicket over to follow Rainbird, Cook, and Sams' early striked had left them too much to do. Two wins in two for Thunder. Thanks for joining our coverage, and don't forget to come back on Boxing Day!
SNJ O'Keefe b Sams 0 (2b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00
Lachlan: "Curran for MOTM!! Just like how stoinis won it against NZ in an ODI! "
Mit Thakkar : "They may not win the match for SS. But this partnership has ensured they do not lose by a big margin and hence save on NRR!"
SA Abbott c Ferguson b Sams 35 (28b 1x4 1x6) SR: 125.00
