Trent Boult to Josh Philippe, EDGED AND FOUR! Almost a wicket off the first ball for Melbourne Stars! Trent Boult starts off with a good-length ball around off and angling it across. Josh Philippe looks to play it late but gets a thick outside edge that flies just out of reach of Beau Webster at first slip and goes into the third-man fence. Sydney Sixers are up and running.

Trent Boult to James Vince, FOUR! Flicked away and James Vince is off the mark in style. This is fuller and swinging into the pads, Vince plays it past square leg and finds the fence.

Luke Wood to James Vince, FOUR! Powered away! Short of a length and outside off, James Vince stands tall and smashes it away right back down the ground and the ball races away into the long off fence.

Luke Wood to James Vince, FOUR! Deft touch from James Vince this time around. Slower one, on a shorter length and close to the off pole. Vince waits on the back foot and steers it to the right of the diving man at short third man for another boundary.

Luke Wood to James Vince, FOUR! James Vince is in a punishing mood here. Back of a length and on leg stump, Vince walks toward the ball and muscles it in front of square on the leg side for the third boundary in the over.

Nathan Coulter-Nile to Josh Philippe, OUT! CAUGHT! Josh Philippe's unconvincing stay at the crease comes to an end. Nathan Coulter-Nile serves it on a length and outside off at 132 clicks, Philippe tries to fetch it from out there and pump it over the infield at mid off. The idea was right but not the execution. It flies off the toe end of his bat and Campbell Kellaway takes a simple catch inside the ring. 129 needed off 88 balls.

Beau Webster to James Vince, FOUR! Put away! Short in length and on off, James Vince turns inside the crease and plays a slow-mo pulls shot through square leg. The fielder in the deep tries his best with a dive but in vain.

Nathan Coulter-Nile to James Vince, FOUR! This will release some pressure. Fuller in length, around off, James Vince gives himself some room and clobbers it over extra cover for a boundary. 100 needed off 61 balls.

11.1
Adam Zampa to Daniel Hughes, EDGED AND FOUR! Adam Zampa tosses it up on a length and around off, Daniel Hughes backs away looking to go downtown but gets beaten in the flight. The ball loops up off the outside edge and goes fine of the diving man at short third man for a boundary.

Adam Zampa to Daniel Hughes, FOUR! Thumped! Tossed up on middle and leg, Daniel Hughes gets his front leg out of the way and powers it right back over the bowler's head for another boundary.

12.1
Beau Webster to Daniel Hughes, OUT! TAKEN! Straight to the man! Beau Webster fires this one in full and on off. Daniel Hughes backs away a long way and looks to cream it through extra cover. The ball is timed sweetly but uppishly as well. The ball goes straight to Campbell Kellaway at extra cover who takes a sharp bobbling catch. Hughes departs just when he was looking good and Kellaway has hurt his fingers as well. The steady stand of 49 runs comes to an end.

Beau Webster to Moises Henriques, SIX! All the way! This is floated up around middle, Moises Henriques dances down the pitch and lofts it straight back over the bowler's head and clears the ropes at long on. He has walked in with intent.

Beau Webster to James Vince, FOUR! Easily done! Dragged down on middle and leg, James Vince rocks back and pulls it into the fence behind square leg. End of an eventful over, a wicket but 13 runs off it too.

Adam Zampa to Moises Henriques, FOUR! Zampa ruins a good over with a poor delivery. This is a half-tracker down leg, Henriques waits for it and then pulls it into the fine leg fence for a boundary.

Trent Boult to Moises Henriques, FOUR! Smacked! Boult delivers it right in the slot, full and around off, Moises Henriques clears his front leg and bludgeons it through the gap between mid off and extra cover.

Trent Boult to Moises Henriques, OUT! CAUGHT! The slower one does the trick for the Kiwi. He dishes it out on a good length around middle, Moises Henriques hangs back to heave it across the line but ends up skying it towards mid on. Three players converge, one being the bowler himself but Thomas Rogers calls for it from mid on and takes the catch easily. 46 needed off 26 balls.

Luke Wood to Jordan Silk, OUT! CAUGHT! Short in length and around off, slower in pace, Silk tries to slam it over point but fails to connect. They attempt to take the bye and the keeper immediately releases the ball. He misses the stumps at the striker's end and then Wood collects the ball to score a direct hit at the bowler's end. Silk dives but has he made it? It's a combined review, first for the caught behind by Zampa and then for a run out. Snicko finds a thin outside edge. No need to look any further. Silk is gone. Interestingly, that delivery was well over the head but that's not considered by the third umpire. Hmm... 2 needed off 2 balls. What drama!

Luke Wood to Dan Christian, FOUR! Dan, the man! Wood serves it full and around middle, Dan Christian advances down the track and whips it over backward square leg for the winning runs. Drama till the very end but Sydney Sixers have won by 6 runs, their 9th consecutive win against Melbourne Stars.
