That does it for this game. Another starts in less than an hour. Good bye for now
Starc is the Man of the Match. Starc: "Playing a lot and working on a few little things, ball is coming out of the hand nicely. Like bowling at the death. Wickets in Colombo [during the World Twenty20] were nice for the quicks early on. Good to bowl here with the pace and bounce. All of us [Sixers fast bowlers] are good mates."
Haddin: "We didn;t start well with the ball, we fought back well, happy with the total we got to chase. We have got good cover for Watson, wish him well for the Test series. Yes, we are thinking about the semi-finals now."
Petersen: "Just a couple of bad overs with bat and ball. T20 cricket is all about that. Phangiso is an underrated bowler, he has done well for us in the past couple of years."
Sixers' bowling strength and Watson combining again for their third successive win. Watson won't be there for the rest of their campaign though
