7.26pm So the boxing day fixture goes Sixers' way. They've now completed the season double over Scorchers. With the ball, they rode on the momentum given by Tom Curran, who struck 24 in the twentieth over of the first innings to deflate Scorchers at the break. After the break, Scorchers lost wickets too often and failed to build any kind of momentum. The win lifts Sixers to 3rd on the points table, while Scorchers remain second last. We'll see you tomorrow with more Big Bash action. Hope you enjoyed our coverage.

Tom Curran is the Player of the Match. "Feeling good, good to get a win today," Curran says. "I tried to hit early on, but it was good to get some hits in the final over. Jackson bowled beautifully in his first game of the season. Tough schedule so far. Nice to get the win."
