0.5 to ADS Fletcher, full on the stumps, tried to flick this over midwicket again, but gets a leading edge skied straight back behind the bowler. Christian shuffles over from mid-on to his left to take a simple catch on the ring.. 4/1 | ||||||||||
| Ben Dwarshuis | 4 | 0 | 47 | 1 | 11.75 | 9 | 1 | 5 | 1 | 0 |
5.3 to HWR Cartwright, short on the stumps, the plan finally comes off. Can't middle this pull, instead top edges it to deep square leg. Swirls toward Silk who charges in 20 yards from the rope with palms out in front of his face, takes this as his knees slide into the turf.. 36/2 | ||||||||||
| Carlos Brathwaite | 4 | 0 | 26 | 0 | 6.50 | 15 | 2 | 2 | 0 | 0 |
| Dan Christian | 3 | 0 | 45 | 0 | 15.00 | 4 | 3 | 4 | 1 | 1 |
| Steve O'Keefe | 2 | 0 | 13 | 2 | 6.50 | 4 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
6.4 to NCR Larkin, slows up the pace at 86 kph flighted fuller on middle, Larkin goes to sweep and it's too full for the shot. Hit low on the shin in front of middle and that's a straightforward decision for the umpire to uphold O'Keefe's appeal.. 42/3 8.2 to BR Dunk, full on fourth stump, tries to heave this down the ground expecting it to turn in but it's an arm ball so keeps skidding across and Dunk winds up splicing this high over extra cover. Easy catch for the fielder jogging in from the rope.. 49/4 | ||||||||||
| Benjamin Manenti | 1 | 0 | 5 | 0 | 5.00 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Gurinder Sandhu | 2 | 0 | 28 | 1 | 14.00 | 3 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 0 |
17.6 to N Pooran, full on off, tries to slam this flat over long-off, miscues this to his fellow West Indian teammate Holder, who leaps up and uses all of his reach with his 6'8" frame to come up with a sterling catch a yard inside the rope. If anyone but Holder or Brathwaite is fielding there, it's most likely six. It was going to take something brilliant to dislodge Pooran and Holder has provided it.. 174/5 | ||||||||||

| Billy Stanlake | 4 | 0 | 41 | 1 | 10.25 | 10 | 4 | 3 | 0 | 0 |
0.3 to J Edwards, bounced out! Short on fifth stump, Edwards tried to pull this over deep square leg but got it too fine and fell straight into the trap set at deep fine/deep backward square leg. Picks out Cartwright who judges this very well coming off the rope to take it at knee height.. 1/1 | ||||||||||
| Nathan Coulter-Nile | 3 | 0 | 14 | 2 | 4.66 | 11 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
1.2 to JM Vince, back of a length on sixth stump, another flat-footed shot this time brings his downfall. Vince just tried to wristily flick this to the leg side, but his inability to get across his stumps to get in line leaves him vulnerable. A top edge swirls over short third man. Easy catch on the ring. The small crowd is producing duck quacking sounds near where Vince walks off back to the dugout bagging a second-baller.. 5/2 12.1 to DT Christian, length ball at 132 kph, Christian backs away from leg stump to clear midwicket, but again the sluggish nature of the pitch makes the ball stick a touch to throw off Christian's timing, bottom edge drags onto the top of middle stump.. 100/5 | ||||||||||
| Liam Hatcher | 4 | 0 | 33 | 3 | 8.25 | 11 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 0 |
10.2 to JC Silk, another short ball wicket for the Sixers batting unit. Short on the stumps, pulls this flat to deep backward square, sharp read off the bat results in a sliding catch. Middled it but just couldn't pick the gap.. 84/4 18.3 to CR Brathwaite, length ball on the stumps, it's in the slot for Brathwaite to launch but miscues this off the toe and Maxwell positions himself three yards in from the rope at long-on. He leaps up to claim this over his head, perhaps worried he might be too close to the rope. But he had given himself plenty of room and could have taken a step back to make it less dramatic. He holds on regardless.. 173/7 18.6 to BJ Dwarshuis, yorker on middle, Dwarshuis tries to heave for the ropes on the leg side and misses, middle stump knocked back.. 174/8 | ||||||||||
| Zahir Khan | 3 | 0 | 23 | 0 | 7.66 | 6 | 2 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
| Adam Zampa | 4 | 0 | 47 | 2 | 11.75 | 5 | 2 | 4 | 0 | 0 |
7.1 to JR Philippe, reverse sweep brings his downfall first ball. Perhaps too full for the shot, couldn't control it to keep it down, middles it but straight to Fletcher on the ring at backward point. Simple catch at waist height taken crouching.. 55/3 14.4 to JO Holder, Zampa drags this wide outside off, gets Holder chasing after it and lofts a drive to wide long-off. Fielder stayed very wide on the rope after the previous shot and is in position this time to pluck this at head height just inside the rope. It's six if Cartwright isn't there to pouch it.. 126/6 | ||||||||||
| Glenn Maxwell | 1.5 | 0 | 24 | 1 | 13.09 | 3 | 2 | 2 | 0 | 0 |
19.4 to DP Hughes, Hughes goes for glory trying to end the match and bring up a century with one blow, but he picks out deep midwicket! Cartwright has been a magnet for the ball in the field and claims this one calmly two yards inside the rope at head height. It was a half-volley on the legs, in the slot to crack over the ropes but he just dragged it too flat, didn't get the elevation.. 190/9 | ||||||||||
