yorker angled into the pads, flicked through square leg to end the match.
Sixers vs Strikers, 11th Match at Hobart, Dec 20 2020, Big Bash League
So Strikers claim the bonus boost point, doing it several overs before the halfway point of the chase, but then somehow wind up miles off the target. Wrap your heads around that for the next 48 hours as the BBL has an off day tomorrow before the tournament resumes in Canberra when the Sydney Thunder take on Perth Scorchers. That's all from us tonight. Take care!
Man of the Match Dan Christian: "The way the game started off, Dan Worrell bowled beautifully. I was just trying something different. They got off to a great start in the chase too but everyone was fantastic tonight. It'll be good to get to Queensland to get rid of the thermals and get warm." Everyone on the field and in the crowd was bundled up on a chilly evening in Hobart tonight.
10.33 pm Sixers romp by 38 runs. They were in a colossal hole after 12 overs before Dan Christian's whirlwind 50. Strikers were similarly way ahead in the early stages of the chase before inexplicably staying in first gear through the second half of the chase. Wells ends unbeaten on 36 off 38 balls, not an innings he'll be framing to hang in the study at home. Ben Manenti's spell of offspin produced two soft dismissals and the Strikers couldn't get any momentum going to recover.
full and wide, driven in the air over cover, cut off by the sweeper.
full and angled down leg. Batsman shuffled way across off stump to flick through the leg side and missed. Wide not given.
full pitching outside leg, Rashid flicks this helicopter style to deep square leg. Holder at 6'8" on the rope plucks this with ease reaching high over his head. Any other fielder in the match besides the two towering Bajans and that's six but Holder clutches on with ease.
full on fifth stump, misses a leg side heave, keeper fumbles the slower ball at 110 kph as well and they pinch a bye.
slower ball lands full and wide outside off, carves this high over extra cover.
yorker down leg. Bonus ball.
47 needed off the final over from Strikers. They're just trying to salvage a bad net run rate hit at this stage. Brathwaite to bowl.
full on the legs, flicked behind square for one.
good length ball, can't get this away.
dropped! Bouncer on the stumps, Rashid heaves this high toward midwicket. Silk settles under this 10 yards in from the rope and spills this badly. Compared to the flat rocket he shelled earlier, this was miles easier. 5/10 on difficulty and he muffs it badly. Inconsequential though at this stage.
full pitching well outside leg stump, Rashid backs well away from leg stump to create room and drive inside out over extra cover. Gorgeous shot.
full and into the legs again from around the stumps, beats the batsman trying to flick him behind square, off the pads behind square.
Rashid has taken both his left shoe and his sock off as the physio takes out the spray to numb it down. Now taking a few minutes to get his socks, shoe and pads back on. He's limping around favoring the left foot leg.
yorker speared into the pads, Rashid misses a flick behind square and is nailed straight on the boots. He's in agony. Was hit basically right on the top of the shoes in an area with next to no protection.
Christian to bowl the 19th. Around the stumps to Rashid.
short and wide, slaps this behind point, beats the man on the ring and no chance for the sweeper.
full on off stump, bottom edged flick goes to short fine leg.
slower offcutter lands short and way too wide outside off. Bonus ball.
full on fourth stump, Rashid backs away to drive over cover and misses. The ball barely misses off stump.
short and wide, goes to cut and beaten again.
short on the stumps, goes to pull but defeated by a slower ball at 111 kph and Rashid has his timing thrown off.
good length ball outside off, misses a cut.
