Thanks for joining us tonight. Cracking game. Melbourne Stars and Adelaide Strikers face off tomorrow. Join us then.
The Sixers go back to the top of the table claiming all four points. They face Sydney Thunder next in a mouth watering clash on Wednesday January 13. The Heat will be frustrated to let that slip. A win would have propelled them to third on the table. Instead they still stay 6th and face the Renegades on Thursday.
The Sixers steal their third last over victory of the season. They win by three wickets. Dan Christian got it done and was deservedly Player of the Match. He also went past 5000 T20 runs and 250 wickets tonight. Dan Hughes set it up for him but the Sixers lost 3 for 7. Dan Christian on Seven: "We certainly didn't want it to get that close. But they bowled really well. I just said to Jacko I'll take the strike and hopefully he misses and luckily he did. I still love it. I just love winning. Apart from one innings earlier in the season I haven't really delivered this season."

Bartlett to Christian, FOUR, full toss flicked past short fine! Christian pulls it off! He charged and Bartlett reacted firing a full toss at the hip, he flicked it powerfully at a catchable height but past short fine. Christian just wins. Every single time
Scores level. One to win. Christian waits as Lynn personally positions every player. He has men in close to save the single

Bartlett to Christian, 2 runs, Is he run out or have they stole two? Safe by a frame! A great wide yorker, he jams it to mid off and they unbelievably try for two, the throw was awkward for Peirson, it bounced high, Peirson needed time to get it down to the stumps, Christian dives full length like Superman and got in by one inch!

Bartlett to Christian, 2 runs, sliced to deep point and Wildermuth drops it! It hung in the air for ever, Wildermuth runs a long way in, it curved to his left, he dived forward and spilled it! Tough chance. They get two
