Daniel Sams	4	0	40	1	10.00	8	3	1	2	0
0.1 to SPD Smith, top edge down deep square's throat! Smith out first ball. The stadium falls flat. Short ball angled across, he walks down and tries to pull on the move, he gets a top edge and it carries all the way to the man in the deep. 0/1
Liam Hatcher	3	0	25	1	8.33	7	3	0	2	0
17.6 to JC Silk, another leg cutter miscued to mid-off! Back of the hand slower ball, comes off the pitch really slow, he miscues completely trying to get it over mid-off but Green is there. 131/6
Chris Green	4	0	28	0	7.00	9	2	1	0	0
Nathan McAndrew	3	0	17	2	5.66	8	2	0	0	0
9.2 to MC Henriques, chipped straight to mid-off! Great captaincy. Green brought five inside the ring including mid-off. Tempted Henriques to go over mid-off, it was full enough to do it but he just chipped it low and flat straight to the man on the ring!. 68/3 15.2 to J Edwards, Bowled him! Clipped the top of off! A beauty. Good length off cutter, it grips sharply in the surface and stays a touch and comes back through the gate to clip the outside of off stump.. 109/5
Tanveer Sangha	4	0	22	2	5.50	7	1	0	0	0
13.5 to JR Philippe, slapped straight to cover! Hales pouches it! Short and wide leg break, he slaps a cut shot straight to Hales at cover who was closer than he should have been but he was in the right spot as it turns out to take a good low catch. 101/4 18.3 to H Kerr, holes out to deep midwicket! Sams nearly messed it up but he holds on. Sangha loops it up, tempts a slog sweep, Kerr gets under it but the breeze carries it further than Sams was expecting and he held on backtracking to the rope but kept his balance. 133/7
Toby Gray	2	0	18	1	9.00	3	3	0	0	0
8.3 to JM Vince, Bowled him! Gray has Vince has his first scalp! Some scalp too. Good length and quicker on middle, Vince went back to pull but misjudged the length and the speed and it skidded through and crashed into middle and leg. Well bowled young man. 59/2

9.2 to T Kohler-Cadmore, holes out to wide mid-off! Another miscue! Cutter angled wide of off, he tries to loft over mid-off and slices it to wide mid-off and Henriques takes a simple catch. 63/3 19.5 to LC Hatcher, straight down deep midwicket's throat!

Back of a length outside leg, he backs away to try and hoick over midwicket, gets a thick edge through to the keeper. 107/8

Flighted higher and slower, he's tempted to drive, it slides on through the gate and hits the top of middle. 46/2 16.5 to DA Warner, holes out to deep midwicket! Brilliant from O'Keefe. From 95kph to 76kph, no pace, drop and keeping low, Warner tries to heave it over deep midwicket but has no pace to work with and miscues to deep midwicket. 101/7

Fly-in Warner can't inspire Thunder as O'Keefe stars for Sixers

The home side locked in a finals berth after a fine bowling performance in front of a record crowd of 41,027 at the SCG

Warner hopes to helicopter in for Thunder's BBL clash against Sixers

"It's a fine line. I might be tight but I'm trying my best to make it work for that day"
