The Stars win by 94 runs. How did that happen? The Stars get themselves into a semi-final against the Hurricanes on Thursday. The Sixers now have to travel to Melbourne to face the Renegades at Marvel Stadium on Friday because that 94-run defeat has dented their net run-rate so badly that they have finished third on the table behind the Renegades! That is the Sixers lowest score in BBL history. Just a stunning result for so many reasons. The Stars were 5 for 116 with 25 balls left in their batting innings and Glenn Maxwell changed the game with an innings of epic proportions. Glenn Maxwell is the Player of the Match for his 82 off 43 balls. He also took the key wicket of Moises Henriques and two excellent catches, one a stunner. The Stars head to Hobart with confidence. The Sixers must regroup after that. And they lose Tom Curran as he heads to the West Indies for England ODI duty. Thanks for your company from the MCG. Join us on Thursday from Hobart. Until then, goodbye.

Zampa to O'Keefe, 2 runs, OUT

Lyon is run out pushing for three! Oh no! Short drag down, he's back pulling this off the bottom edge to fine leg, Sandeep runs a long way around to make the save, they push for three, Lyon is struggling, he dives, the bat bounces short of the line, his bat is over the line but in the air when Handscomb takes the bails off! Another horror dismissal!
