5.03pm Quite fitting that Sixers' hero with the ball also hits their winning runs. Brisbane Heat remain winless, while Sydney Sixers move to second on the points table. Two magical performances from Henriques and Silk have ensured that. See you in under an hour for the day's second game. It's a New-Year special where the two Melbourne sides will be slugging it out. Till then, goodbye from all of us at ESPNcricinfo.

Cutting to Tom Curran, 1 run

yorker on leg stump, and he squeezes it away to short fine leg. Misfield from Mujeeb, and Sydney Sixers start their 2019 on a winning note!

Cutting to Tom Curran, FOUR runs

waist-high full toss outside off stump, and he smokes this right over cover! Scores tied. What a gift.

Lalor to Silk, OUT

full on middle, and he looks to slog towards the leg side. Top-edges it, and the keeper gets under it! The set batsman is out. Twist in the tale?

Lalor to Silk, FOUR runs

length ball outside off, and he clubs a flat-batted shot right over the non-striker! Long off tries to cut it off, but he can't because the shot is too damn straight!

4
Lalor to Silk, FOUR runs

full on off, and he's picked the spot beautifully! Uses the wrists to maneuver this over the square-leg umpire, and there's no protection near there

Lalor to Philippe, 1 run

yorker just outside off, and he opens the bat's face to play to point

CJ: "That final over from Curren where he only conceded three or four could be the difference here."

18.2
4
Lalor to Philippe, FOUR runs

audacious! Full on off stump, but he shuffles across and mistimes a paddle-ramp past the keeper's left. Takes a tumble while completing the shot, but he's got a smile on his face by the end of it

Swepson to Silk, 2 runs

full outside off, and Silk makes room before freeing his arms. Well placed, between deep extra cover and long off, but the fielders manage to converge and stop the boundary

2
Swepson to Philippe, 2 runs

full on off stump, and he skips down the ground to meet this ball. Swings across the line and mistimes it to deep backward square. Just a single there, but a fluffed effort in the deep allows them to pinch a second

full and wide outside off. An offcutter from Cutting. Driven square to the fielder in the deep

4
Cutting to Silk, FOUR runs

unlucky! Or lucky, depending on which team you're rooting for. Full and wide, and Silk absolutely goes hell-for-leather trying to hit it over cover. But the ball's taken an edge, and goes just past the keeper's right for four

16.4
3
Cutting to Philippe, 3 runs

length ball on middle, and nudged off his toes to deep backward square again. They go for the double once more, and a misfield from the keeper allows them to steal a third as well!

16.3
2
Cutting to Philippe, 2 runs

full on middle, and this has some late inswing. Clipped off his toes to deep midwicket, and the new batsman has no trouble in returning for the second run. Fresh legs, gas in the tank

16.2
1
Cutting to Silk, 1 run

length ball, delivered very wide outside off stump, and he smokes a cut-shot to the fielder at deep point

Cutting to Henriques, OUT

full on off stump, and Henriques looks to clear the long-off boundary. But he's toe-ended the shot, and long off runs forward to complete an easy catch. Cutting is pumped too!
