Thunder vs Sixers, 8th Match at Sydney, BBL, Dec 24 2018 - Ball by Ball Commentary
10:27pm And that is the win for Sydney Thunder. A big enough win in T20s anyway, but they were worried about 20 minutes ago. They'll think about why they couldn't clean this innings up a long while ago, having Sixers five down in seven overs. Top knocks from Curran and Abbott, but Fawad Ahmed's double wicket over to follow Rainbird, Cook, and Sams' early striked had left them too much to do. Two wins in two for Thunder. Thanks for joining our coverage, and don't forget to come back on Boxing Day!
