What an exciting game and what an exciting night, with two games being decided on the final ball. The Scorchers do enough to keep top spot while the Sixers carry a bit of momentum into the finals, where they'll play the Hurricanes.

It was Mitchell Starc's stunning spell of bowling that turned this match, he took three wickets in his second over, including the Marsh brothers and Paul Collingwood.

He's been named Man of the Match.

Thanks for your company tonight, make sure you join me, Andrew Fuss again tomorrow night for the all important game between the Stars and the Strikers in Melbourne, that game will decided fourth place. Good night
