0.3 to DP Hughes, simple pop to short mid wicket, and the crowd erupts! Hard length on middle and off, and this seems to come off slower than Hughes expects. He has a hack at it and toe-ends it terribly. Straight to Connolly, and that is a dream start for the Scorchers!. 0/1

9.3 to L Shaw, the change in angle works a charm instantly! Cutter on a back of a length just outside off. Shaw's eyes light up and he tries to smash it into next week. Loses his shape a touch and the ball straightens too, while also rearing up slightly. Feathers it through to Allen, and the Power Surge claims another batter!. 89/5
201226.0051000
2.5 to Babar Azam, another tame chip, and Babar is outta here! Babar never looked settled at the crease and he now has to walk back. This is on a hard length again, getting up to near the ribs probably. Mid on was brought up, and with mid off also in the ring, Babar thought he could slap this over the bowler's head. Not the wisest ploy given the way the ball has been bouncing around, though. The bat makes a clunky sound upon contact and Evans does the rest at mid on!. 15/2
5.3 to JR Philippe, goes straight up, and Philippe's fun is over! Slower ball banged into the track and this seems to get up near the back shoulder. Philippe was always going to swipe at it but because of where the ball finished, he could not control his stroke. Off the top edge and the keeper calls early to complete the catch in the leg gully region!. 41/4

0.3 to MR Marsh, sharp grab by Babar Azam, and Marsh is outta here for a duck! Very full outside off. Marsh backs away and jams down on it again. The ball flies off the outside edge and Babar, stood right on the ring at a very fine short third, takes it over his head. Excellent start for the Sixers and the hosts, like the visitors, have lost an opener for a duck!. 0/1

9.3 to C Connolly, scuffed to long off, and Connolly cannot take the Scorchers past the finish line! Zipped in full on middle and off. There to be smashed down the ground but the bat face just opens up upon contact. A bit of a slice in the end and Edwards takes it comfortably in front of his face. Is there a twist in this game?!. 105/4
9.6 to LJ Evans, sliced into the air, and Evans bites the dust! A bit of an anti-climax really. Slow and into the track just outside off. Evans has designs of carving this over cover but slices across it way too much. The ball spoons up and the fielder running back from cover does the rest!. 113/5
2022111.0030200
5.3 to AM Hardie, goes straight up, and Hardie perishes! Slower ball thrown up on a length wide outside off. Hardie thinks he can pop this downtown but loses his shape completely. Loops up off the outer half of the bat and Philippe, with the gloves on, snaffles up the chance. Sixers keep chipping away!. 57/3
2026113.0040300
3.5 to FH Allen, holes out to deep mid wicket! On the shorter side again, on middle and off. This one, though, just sticks in the surface enough. Allen chances his arm on the longer deep mid wicket boundary but does not muster the requisite power. Shaw, stationed right on the fence, makes no mistake, and the Sixers have their second!. 39/2
