That's all from us at ESPNcricinfo tonight. See you tomorrow for more BBL action.
10.20pm Sixers move to second on the points table, but Renegades lose their fifth game in a row. Not good for the defending champions now with the tournament's business stage now approaching. Silk gets a pat on the back from Richardson, Finch and Christian for his match-winning innings. Curran's poor time with the ball does not hurt the Sixers eventually. Vince was excellent for Sixers too, while Christian impressed with the bat in the first innings. Don't forget the contributions from the Sixers openers too. Both Hughes and Philippe got forties to set the chase up beautifully.
19.5
1
Gleeson to Curran, 1 run, full on off, and the inside-edged shot goes to cover. They scamper across and Sixers win by six wickets
Field coming in.
19.4
1
Gleeson to Silk, 1 run, yorker length, on middle, and drilled to deep midwicket. Scores tied
19.3
6
Gleeson to Silk, SIX, just over cow corner! Back of a length, outside off, and pulled over the fielder on the boundary. That six was 81m long
Sixers need eight off four
19.2
1b
Gleeson to Curran, 1 bye, they pinch a single as the ball goes under Curran's bat. Another slower ball outside off. Silk would've been out had Harper got the direct hit from behind the stumps
Curran back on strike. Still has the opportunity to redeem himself for that bowling spell tonight
19.1
1
Gleeson to Silk, 1 run, back of a length, outside off. Flat-batted back to Gleeson, and the ball bursts through his hands for the batsmen to take a single
Ten for Sixers to win. Nine for a super over. Less than eight and Renegades win. The DJ at the stadium is playing Darude - Sandstorm to get the crowd. Gleeson has the ball. Silk on strike

Richardson to Curran, no run, dot ball to end the spell. Good length outside off again, but the lack of pace goes under the bat
