- BATSMENRB4s6sSR12.3 given caught, terrific catch away to his left at the second attempt! Short went for the slog-sweep, gets an inside edge into his leg which rebounds away and Philippe is very alert and keeps his cool (tough today!) to grab it after it pops up 84/34.3 taken at deep midwicket! Trying to release the pressure, picks up a back-of-a-length delivery but can't get the distance. Nice simple catch for Kerr 26/110.4 excellent catch at deep midwicket, brings out the slog-sweep and sends a skimming catch towards the rope which is very well held close to the ground. Super grab 76/218.3 finds cover! He won't get going at all. Short outside off, cracked it reasonably well off the back foot but straight to the man on the edge of the circle. Takes a look at the pitch 118/716.1 excellent catch at point! Round the wicket, full at the stumps, takes a thick outside edge and a very good catch from Hughes moving to his right 106/417.1 good catch at deep square! Back of a length outside off, he picks it up and a long way into the air and can't get the distance 113/517.5 across the crease and given! Big over from Abbott. This was a straight delivery, at middle and off, Faulkner had shuffled a long way across and that was pretty out 116/619.5 you miss, I hit...Curran goes full and straight, Qais has a big swing 129/819.6 finds deep midwicket...full on off stump, connects pretty well but it's the long boundary and it doesn't quite have the distance 129/9Extras11 (w 11)TOTAL129/9 (20 Overs, RR: 6.45)Did not bat: RP MeredithFall of wickets: 1-26 (Caleb Jewell, 4.3 ov), 2-76 (Ben McDermott, 10.4 ov), 3-84 (D'Arcy Short, 12.3 ov), 4-106 (George Bailey, 16.1 ov), 5-113 (Simon Milenko, 17.1 ov), 6-116 (James Faulkner, 17.5 ov), 7-118 (David Miller, 18.3 ov), 8-129 (Qais Ahmad, 19.5 ov), 9-129 (Clive Rose, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR0.6 direct hit from mid-on! Qais Ahmed with a superb piece of fielding. Was pushed firmly towards mid-on, Qais swoops with one hand and pulls off the perfect throw. He's well short 5/18.2 massive moment, he finds deep midwicket! Full outside off, Philippe goes across outside off, down on one knee, aiming over the leg side but it's quite some way short and very well taken catch running in 56/46.2 cleans him up! Full at off stump, a well disguised offcutter slower ball, Vince aims a swipe to the leg side and misses 48/27.2 picks out long-off! He looked to have nailed this nicely with a booming lofted drive, but could hardly have placed it better to the fielder 52/318.1 great catch, that's the match! Full and straight, Silk plays effectively a slog sweep, doesn't get far off the ground and Short does brilliantly at deep square to take it low at the ground. 102/98.5 and given! What a passage of play for the Hurricanes. A length ball which nips back and takes him in front of middle and off. The wheels are coming off for the Sixers 58/59.1 what a delivery! And he bring out the somersault celebration. That's a classical legspinners dismissal as it pitches on middle, spins to beat the edge and takes off stump. What a gem, what a turnaround 59/69.2 huge appeal for a stumping and he's gone! A sharply-spun leg-break, beats Abbott's edge as he comes forward. Superbly swift work from McDermott and the foot is in the air above the line 59/79.4 through him! He has another, amazing stuff. Beautiful bowling, round the wicket, pitches well outside off and spins back sharply as Dwarshuis leaves a huge gap 61/818.5 and that's it! He moves all around his crease then just manages to slice this to short third man 104/10Extras8 (b 4, lb 1, w 3)TOTAL104 all out (18.5 Overs, RR: 5.52)Fall of wickets: 1-5 (Daniel Hughes, 0.6 ov), 2-48 (James Vince, 6.2 ov), 3-52 (Moises Henriques, 7.2 ov), 4-56 (Josh Philippe, 8.2 ov), 5-58 (Hayden Kerr, 8.5 ov), 6-59 (Tom Curran, 9.1 ov), 7-59 (Sean Abbott, 9.2 ov), 8-61 (Ben Dwarshuis, 9.4 ov), 9-102 (Jordan Silk, 18.1 ov), 10-104 (Ben Manenti, 18.5 ov)
