Debutant Ben Manenti and all-round Tom Curran star for Sydney Sixers
A difficult pitch made for a low-scoring match and the Sydney Sixers spinners combined for a matchwinning contribution

Commentator: Andrew McGlashan
Sydney Sixers win by 33 runs and that's a superb performance with the ball and in the field. They only had 132 on the board, and had to fight for every one of those, but this was a difficult (and poor) T20 pitch. The Sixers spinners played a vital role, Ben Manenti on debut was outstanding as was Steve O'Keefe. Another good all-round day for Tom Curran as well with a vital hand with the bat followed by 3 for 18. Important win for the Sixers after two defeats, although they still have questions over the top order. The Renegades were well below their best with the bat and could have to contend with these home conditions all season. We'll be back tomorrow for Hobart Hurricanes against Perth Scorchers which will be Cameron Bancroft's return from his ban. See you for that but, for now, from Andrew McGlashan it's goodnight.
Stu Nairn: "Big Bash really hasn't lived up to its name this year."
Tom Curran is on a hat-trick...won't have many better chances

37 needed off 6...good game to tie from here
