Commentary

That's it from the coverage, hope you enjoyed it. Until next time, this is Pragadeesh signing off

Sean Abbott (Man of the Match) - We waited a bit to freshen up and the wicket really suited us. We are looking forward to Hobart now as it's going to be completely different conditions with good batting wicket. Credit to AJ for bowling reverse swinging yorkers on this wicket. The team that adjust quickly here can come out on top. (On Scorchers) They are class, missing the few players in the bowling department but when we face them in the finals, we have to adjust like how we did tonight. We had a great home crowd advantage. It was the best atmosphere when we faced the Scorchers in the final at SCG last time. We will try and do our best in the remaining games to finish in the top spot and make sure the final happens in SCG again

How crucial was that six from Dwarshuis in the final ball of the first innings. Well, looking at the margin of the defeat that was really massive from the Sixers' point of view. But nothing to take away from Sean Abbott as he was tremendous again inside the powerplay. He got rid of Bancroft and Hardie cheaply to set the tone for the Sixers in the chase.

Inglis and Turner hung in for a while but the duo failed to convert the start into a big score. Eskinazi shouldered the responsibility and played sensibly but it was a tough wicket to play the strokes even for the well-set batter.

Hobson was the only batter, who looked destructive but Abbott ended his cameo to help the Sixers regain control in the match. Dan Christian bowled an all-important penultimate over, picked up two wickets and conceded just seven runs to make things easy for Hayden Kerr in the final over. Eskinazi fought till the end to keep the Scorchers alive in the contest but couldn't come up with a final blow to help them cross the finish line

19.4 Hayden Kerr to Stephen Eskinazi, HUGE APPEAL...NOT GIVEN! Nails the yorker angling across off-stump, Eskinazi shuffles across and tries to swing across but he didn't get underneath the ball. The ball hits his front pad and they sneak a leg-bye.
