10.08pm Sixers overtake Thunder in the points table courtesy of today's win, and enter the top two with the playoffs approaching. Remember they were 8 for 1 after the powerplay while batting first, but ended up posting a pretty huge 197 in the end. Contributions from Hughes, Henriques and Phillipe with the bat, and then the veteran O'Keefe with the ball means Sixers have comfortably crossed the line against Thunder tonight. That's it from our side, as we head off. Goodnight and goodbye from me, Himanshu, on behalf of Vishal and Bnoy!

Henriques to Mohammad Hasnain, no run, short of a length on off, and beaten on his pull. Sixers win by 60 runs

Henriques to T Sangha, 1 run, goes for the scoop to that ball which is pretty shortish outside off. Gets that off the inside half of the bat to the left of the keeper
Hasnain is the last man in, but will be off strike now

Henriques to Green, OUT, taken at deep midwicket! The ball was on a short of a length on off, and Green looked to send that into the stands to the on side. But he got that off the higher side of the bat after pulling with his front leg out of the way, and sent that flying to the man there

Henriques to Green, 2 runs, change of pace. Goes much fuller on off, and he nudges that to long-on. Fifty for Green, his first in BBL

Henriques to Green, 2 runs, in the slot on a full length on middle, and he hoicks that toward fine leg. They complete a rapid two there

Henriques to T Sangha, 1 run, short of a length on middle, and pulled toward square leg
Henriques now has the ball. Over the wicket.
