Billy Stanlake to Daniel Christian, EDGED AND FOUR! That is it! Christian guides his side over the line. Not in the most handsome style but efficient enough to get the job done. Short ball on middle and leg. Christian looks to pull but gets a top edge. It goes over and fine down the leg side. It bounces inside the ropes and goes away. SYDNEY SIXERS WIN BY 5 WICKETS!

Billy Stanlake to Daniel Christian, SIX! SMASHED! Short but not short enough. It stands well for Christian. He gets on his back foot and smokes his pull over square leg for a biggie.

Sam Rainbird to Daniel Christian, IN THE AIR AND FOUR! Shortish ball on off, Christian comes down track and looks to pull it over square leg. He gets a top edge which flies away from short fine leg. It bounces before the ropes and goes away for a boundary. A good start to the over.

Nathan Coulter-Nile to Daniel Christian, FOUR! Over point this time! Length ball around off, Christian slices it over point and gets a boundary. Good batting this from the veteran.

Nathan Coulter-Nile to Daniel Christian, FOUR! JUST OVER! Short ball on the body. Christian pulls it fine and gets it just over short fine leg. The fielder jumps and gets a little finger on it. Not good enough to save it from going to the fence.

Sam Rainbird to Jordan Silk, FOUR! Poor from Maddinson! Full around off, Silk goes inside out over cover. Maddinson at long off runs and slides to his left. He gets to the ball but fumbles and it and the ball crosses the ropes.

Zahir Khan to Jordan Silk, FOUR! Pulled and pulled in the gap. Short and spinning away from middle. Silk gets on his back foot and pulls it away from deep mid-wicket. The fielder there dives to his left but to no avail.

Adam Zampa to Daniel Christian, SIX! Excellent use of the feet and Christian gets the maximum. Floated around off, Christian comes down the track and goes over long off for a biggie.

Billy Stanlake to Jordan Silk, FOUR! Silk ends the over on a good note. On a good length and around off, Silk guides this one through the backward point region, into the ropes. 15 runs off the Power Surge for the Sixers. They still need 63 runs off the last 6 overs.

Billy Stanlake to Daniel Christian, FOUR! Christian gets off the mark in some style! Shortish and around off, Daniel makes room and thrashes this one over point and it crosses the ropes on a couple of bounces.

Nathan Coulter-Nile to Carlos Brathwaite, OUT! CAUGHT! The big fella goes back without doing much damage. He looked to bang this one away but he holes out in that process. On a length and around off, Brathwaite swings his blade across but he does not quite get it off the meat of the bat. The ball goes high into the air towards mid off where Rainbird makes no mistake. 2 wickets and 3 runs off the first Power Surge over.

Nathan Coulter-Nile to Moises Henriques, OUT! RUN OUT! The skipper falls now. He has done his job well but he will not be happy that he could not stay out there for a long time. Good length and on middle, Henriques clips this one uppishly towards the fine leg region. The fielder in the deep collects and throws this to the keeper. The batters want the second and come back for it and Philippe collects and whips the bails off. Moises thinks that this one is out as even before the verdict from the third umpire is out, he is walking back. Replays come in and he is right to be walking off. He is well short. 77 needed in 47 balls.

Nic Maddinson to James Vince, OUT! CAUGHT! Finally, the Stars break this partnership. Vince looked to go over the infield but he could not time this one well and he holes out for 46. Floated and around off, Vince moves to the leg side and looks to loft this one but he did not quite time it right. This one goes quickly towards the cover fielder, where Coulter-Nile gets low and takes a great catch. 94 more needed from 61 balls.

Billy Stanlake to Moises Henriques, FOUR! Henriques has done the job. With this boundary, they win the Bash Boost point and they move to the top of the summit and this also means that the Stars will not be making the playoffs this year. Outside off on a good length, Moises slashes this one over point to fetch a boundary.

Adam Zampa to James Vince, FOUR! Connects well with this one, alright! Flighted around off and middle, Vince hammers this one over Zampa's head, and into the ropes downtown. Just 6 more needed for Sixers to claim the Bash Boost.

Nathan Coulter-Nile to Moises Henriques, FOUR! Deft touch from Henriques. Back of a length delivery outside off. Henriques opens the face of the bat and gets it past backward point for a boundary. The Sixers need 30 more runs off 36 balls to win the Bash Boost point.

Nathan Coulter-Nile to Moises Henriques, FOUR! Coulter-Nile struggling for his radar here. Back of a length delivery around the body. Henriques swivels it through the fine leg fence for a boundary.

Sam Rainbird to James Vince, FOUR! Lovely shot! Shortish ball on middle, Vince uses the pace and pulls it behind square on the leg side for a boundary.

Billy Stanlake to James Vince, FOUR! Much better shot. 12 off the over. Length ball on off, Vince pulls this in a controlled manner away from the deep mid-wicket fielder and gets a boundary.

Billy Stanlake to James Vince, TOP EDGE AND SIX! Lucky escape for Vince. Good length ball around off. Vince looks to pull but just like Hughes, this one was not short enough to play this shot. Vince though gets a large chunk of the edge and the ball goes over the vacant fine leg region and over the ropes for a biggie.

Billy Stanlake to Daniel Hughes, OUT! CAUGHT! What a brilliant catch from Glenn Maxwell and the skipper is leading from the front here on the field. A very tough catch but it was made to look easy by Maxwell. Perfect start for the Stars. 2 wickets in the first 2 overs. Good length delivery outside off, Hughes looks to swivel it across the line. The ball is not short enough for him to play the shot. It takes the top edge and goes behind first slip. Maxwell runs behind, which is always the toughest thing to do. He covers the distance and takes a very good catch.

Sam Rainbird to Josh Philippe, OUT! CAUGHT! What a breakthrough for the Stars! The dangerous and talented Philippe departs very early and Rainbird has delivered the goods. Rainbird goes full and the ball seems to have stopped a bit on the surface. Philippe is early in his shot and is taken by surprise. He ends up getting a thick outside edge which falls on its way to short third man. Big Billy Stanlanke falls in front and takes a very good catch. Just the kind of start Melbourne Stars needed.
