- BATSMENRB4s6sSR8.1 gets into a tangle! Length ball on middle, and angling across the batsman. Hughes comes down the wicket trying to hammer a ball over cow corner, but he misses and the keeper makes no mistake whipping the bails off 65/22.3 edged and taken! Philippe goes for a cross-batted hoick but the ball gets an under-edge and the keeper dives to his left to take a splended catch. Wasn't easy, sharp take from Inglis 19/19.3 Fawad wins the battle! Drops the length, outside off, and Vince comes skipping down the wicket. Can't connect with the cross-batted slog, and Inglis is in the action once again. Whips the bails off and Vince throws away yet another decent start 73/313.4 played on! Full and wide outside off, but he throws his bat at the slower ball. Inside edge, onto the stumps, and promising knock ends prematurely 114/414.1 Jordan wins the battle of the Jordans! Length ball, slower ball, and he swings leg side. Sliced and taken by short third man 117/517.3 slower ball, outside off, and Kerr goes for the biggie. Sliced, in the air, and Turner - runs around from point - to take the skyer 136/618.3 back of a length, on middle, and he pulls, but doesn't have the distance.

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR1.1 a screamer! Length ball, angling down leg, but Livingstone came down the wicket to thump a shot, and under-edged into the gloves of the diving keeper. Strikes first ball 6/14.1 strikes first ball! Yorker length on off, and he wants to hit this over the bowler. Chunks the shot instead, and Dwarshuis - at mid on - makes no mistake. Scorchers tottering now 16/33.1 another one! Length ball on off, fast delivery, and Bancroft looks to hoick it over cow corner. Ball goes under his bat and knocks leg stump back instead 14/26.1 another first-ball wicket! Length ball outside off, and Marsh looks to pull, but dragged into the stumps. Scorchers in massive, massive trouble 34/55.5 good length on middle, and he tries to pull, but the ball whizzes over his gloves and into the keeper's hands. Bowler appeals and the umpire raises his finger. Green does not think he's out but he has to walk back. Howler from the umpire? Perhaps, but full marks to the bowling team for the conviction in their appeal. They thought it was out 34/412.1 soft dismissal! Back of a length, very wide outside off, but Turner can't resist a cut. Sliced to cover, who tumbles but completes the soft catch. Another wicket off the over's first ball 82/711.4 full, on off, and he goes for the big shot over the non-striker's end. Off the bat's outside edge, and the fielder at long off makes no mistake 81/614.2 good length, from around the wicket. Tries to pull, but sliced instead. Fielder at midwicket makes no mistake 91/817.2 full, on leg stump. Clears his front leg to drill this over long on, but doesn't have the distance. Bird takes the catch near the boundary 119/918.1 good length, on middle, and Fawad makes room before hammering a shot down long on's throat. Sixers win by 48 runs 126/10Extras18 (lb 4, w 14)TOTAL126 all out (18.1 Overs, RR: 6.93)Fall of wickets: 1-6 (Liam Livingstone, 1.1 ov), 2-14 (Cameron Bancroft, 3.1 ov), 3-16 (Josh Inglis, 4.1 ov), 4-34 (Cameron Green, 5.5 ov), 5-34 (Mitchell Marsh, 6.1 ov), 6-81 (Ashton Agar, 11.4 ov), 7-82 (Ashton Turner, 12.1 ov), 8-91 (Chris Jordan, 14.2 ov), 9-119 (Jhye Richardson, 17.2 ov), 10-126 (Fawad Ahmed, 18.1 ov)
