Steven O'Keefe is player of the match. A superb performance. Sixers are a big threat to win the title again. Thanks for your company. Join us for the double-header tomorrow. Until then, have a good night.
10.37pm Sixers win by 19 runs. Sixers will play finals and Thunder will not. Clinical bowling display from the Sixers. Thunder were 0 for 44 after 4 with Hales and Warner flying. Steve O'Keefe takes two in an over including Hales and Bancroft and Thunder capitulate. Sixers worked out how to bowl on what turned into a pretty poor pitch by the end. O'Keefe finished with 3 for 13. Sixers have one more match in Perth and could still finish second if they beat Scorchers in that match.
Ryan: "Spin to win!!Damn, SOK, well played, just be more like Hogg and play on!"
Jugilee: "Thunder's chances are gone. Looked like the 6ers were 15-20 short but their bowlers had a field day. Feel the Thunder batters could have focused more on 1s,2s especially after the rollicking start. T20s aren't just about 4s , 6s but also 1s,2s,3s "
LC Hatcher c Silk b Kerr 20 (11m 10b 1x4 1x6) SR: 200.00
Henriques says to Kerr on mic "Do you want to go shopping? Pace off into the wicket." AKA do you want to buy a wicket?
TW Gray run out 10 (13m 7b 1x4 0x6) SR: 142.85
Last over. Five in the circle required as the Sixers have run out of time.
Budava Mundai: "The 6ers' bowlers have read the pitch to perfection..after the PP , they have taken pace off the ball..made life very difficult for the thunder batters "

"It's a fine line. I might be tight but I'm trying my best to make it work for that day"
