Sydney Sixers win by 8 wickets with 35 balls to spare. That was a flogging. The Strikers lost it with the ball but the Sixers made the chase look very easy indeed.

The Sixers have won three in a row and move up to second on the BBL table with a huge net run-rate boost. The Strikers have now lost four on the trot and their title defence is in ruins.
