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!

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.
waist-high full toss outside off stump, and he smokes this right over cover! Scores tied. What a gift.
full outside off, and he swings across the line to hammer a shot towards deep midwicket
Six needed off the final over. Here's Cutting.
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?
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!
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
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."
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
length ball, wide outside off, and he drags a sweep to deep midwicket
length ball on middle stump, and pulled along the ground to deep midwicket
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
length ball outside off, and muscled off the back foot to wide long-on
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 on middle stump, and pulled along the ground to deep midwicket for a single
length ball, wide outside off, but Silk has picked this delivery. Goes down on one knee, and flat-bats a shot over long on! Just what was needed first ball of the over
full and wide outside off. An offcutter from Cutting. Driven square to the fielder in the deep
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
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!
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
length ball, delivered very wide outside off stump, and he smokes a cut-shot to the fielder at deep point
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!
