9.45pm Handshakes all around as the crowd got a great game today. Rashid comes around to Philippe and says something with a smile, great scenes. Philippe of Rashid today: 23 off six balls, with three fours and a six. Excellent performance from the Sixers again, showing why they've been doing well this season. It initially looked like the Strikers were running away towards a massive total on this batting pitch, being 1 for 56 in the powerplay, before the return of Josh Hazlewood to BBL after six seasons put the brakes on them. The Sixers' opening stand set the tone for the chase, especially from Avendano, before Philippe blunted Rashid and stayed till the end to ensure victory.

That's all from me, tonight, fellas. It's Vishal Dikshit and Ranjith signing off, with this tweet that sumps up the match:

Siddle to Tom Curran, SIX runs

sealed with six, have you heard that before? Curran finishes it off by swinging the full toss down the ground, brings out a big smile and gets a hug from Philippe

19.2
Siddle to Tom Curran, no run

wide yorker at 129kmh, Curran chases and misses

Philippe gives some advice to Curran. Siddle needs some stinging yorkers now

Neser to Tom Curran, FOUR runs

and he finishes the over in style, a four makes it 21 from the over as Curran makes room and slaps it wide of deep cover. The fielder puts in a dive to his right, gets a hand, but the ball rolls way to hit the rope

Curran will face his first ball

18.3
6
Neser to Philippe, SIX runs

that's some fine hitting from Philippe! Short ball, he stays still and gets on top of the ball to hammer that away over the midwicket fence for a clean, clean six. That's the match, I think

18.2

Neser to Philippe, FOUR runs

and another four, on the other side this time! Shuffles to leg, the ball chases him as it's a low full toss and he swats it wide of fine leg for a one-bounce four

low full toss on off, pushed down to long on for one

That's the longest I've seen a wicket being checked for a not-so-close dismissal. At least the right decision was delivered

Siddle to Vince, OUT

excellent catch at sweeper cover from Rashid, he completes it and signals out! High full toss on off, flat-batted by Vince on the off side and Rashid tumbled forward for what's a clean catch, replays confirm. Hang on, the umpires are checking for a no ball, and Siddle has juuust something behind the crease for a legal delivery. The umpire also checking the catch, it looks clean, and now checking the height of the full toss, that's well below the waist
