0.1
4
Lee to Voges, FOUR runs
Brett Lee will take the ball and Voges, Mitch Marsh and Ashton Turner will bat for the visitors. Interestingly, the skipper, Simon Katich, who stroked 71 off 56 balls won't bat in the Super Over. Adam Voges will face up to Brett Lee. His level head will be required to get the visitors home in what appears to be a mere formality now.
Brett Lee is going through his regular warm up routine. My word, he's a true champion fast bowler. Always fighting hard and never giving up.

Arafat to Smith, OUT
Smith is done by a double-bluff from the Scorchers. With fine leg up he walked away to the off side to try and scoop it over the man inside the circle but Arafat's slower ball hits off stump and the Scorchers are jubilant! Steve Smith to face up here. Can he take his team home?

We have seen an enthralling contest here between two even teams. Steve Smith's 65 off 48 balls has kept the Sixers in the game almost single-handedly. Yasir Arafat was simply outstanding with the pill for the Scorchers. Taking wickets at crucial times to keep his side in the match.
Both teams are now making the tough call on who will be charged with responsibility in the Super Over. We will see one bowler and three batsmen line up to face six deliveries. With the way Arafat finished the match with the ball, he's odds on to lead his team home. We will let you know who the team's have selected to do the job as soon as we are informed.
