  • Player of the Match
    Chris Morris
    2/12(3.5)
That's all we have from this rain-affected match. Sydney Thunder have moved to the top 4 on the table, equal on points with Adelaide Strikers but down on the NRR. Sunday will bring our way yet another double-header. First up, Hobart Hurricanes will be hosting Adelaide Strikers at 1445 local (0345 GMT) and then later in the evening at 1810 local (0810 GMT) Brisbane Heat will be crossing swords against Melbourne Renegades. Do join us for all the action. Cheers!
CHRIS MORRIS IS CHOSEN FOR THE MAN OF THE MATCH AWARD! Says that he is quite happy with the win. Adds that he is pleased with them in being in the top four as it is the business end of the tournament. On the Hughes' run out, Morris states that he took a chance and that paid off. Finishes by saying that it was a very tricky wicket to bat on and is delighted with the way they played.
ALL OVER! The two captains are seen shaking hands. Not possible to carry on as the rain refused to make way. SYDNEY THUNDER WIN BY 4 RUNS (DLS method) to take two vital points and jump up on the points table. It was a clinical bowling show by them aided by some reckless batting from the Sixers that set up this win. The pitch was a bit sticky but the touring team failed to combat that and their shot selections were quite questionable. Sydney Thunder did lose their openers rather cheaply but since there wasn't much scoreboard pressure, they managed to stay within the limits of the Duckworth�Lewis�Stern method.
Update 2208 local - Here comes the official word from the match officials. One of the umpires, Tony Wilds informs that 2223 local is the cut-off time and if they don't start by then, it's game over. Praises the groundsmen for putting in the hard work and hopes that the crowd will be treated with some more cricket.
Moises Henriques is caught for a quick chat. Starts by saying that it was a sticky wicket early on but at the same time they have to learn to combat that. Tells that the pitch was under covers and it was holding up a bit, especially in the early half. Shares that once the ball got older, it got easier to bat on and the pitch also dried up. On the plan to pick two spinners in his XI, Moises replies that they are two good spinners who are capable of manipulating any batting order. When asked whether he would have liked to see the pitch after it was uncovered, Moises says that both the skippers saw similar conditions before the toss, so it's fair. Adds that today they are at the wrong end and on another night, it could have been the Thunder. Smiles and says that his fatherhood is going good and it's overwhelming, a proud moment for anyone. Informs that it isn't raining heavily but the drizzle is quite persistent.
Update 2147 local - PLAYERS ARE GOING OFF! It continues to drizzle and after waiting for a while, the umpires have decided that enough is enough. They have called for the covers. The Thunder are 4 runs ahead on the DLS count.

Turns a length ball on the leg side and collects a single. Poor fielding. The mid-wicket fielder should not be allowing easy runs.
It has started to rain! It is a bit of drizzle only and the umpire think it is fine to continue for the moment.

Tom Curran To Usman Khawaja OUT!
OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Curran strikes. He delivers a length ball outside off and tempts the batsman into a drive. Khawaja tries to stroke it through covers but the angle takes the ball away from him and the ball catches the outside edge. It flies straight into the hands of Hughes at first slip who makes no mistake. 56 needed more off 74 balls.

Whoa! That has slipped out from Curran's hand. A beamer. High full toss going well over the head of the batsman who ducks to save his life.

A touch short and around leg, Khawaja walks forward to work it on the leg side but misses. Maybe, that clipped some part of his thigh pad. The keeper has an immediate shy at the striker's end but misses. Usman was safely in anyway. Just one from the over, 62 needed off 78 balls.

Ben Dwarshuis To Usman Khawaja
Fractionally short in length outside off, Usman stands back and cuts it through the line. First he shouts 'wait, wait' but as soon as the ball pierces the gap at cover-point, they take a couple. 13 from the over, the Thunder are marching forward.

Ben Dwarshuis To Usman Khawaja
FOUR! Easy pickings! Cannot afford to bowl there especially while defending a small total. A gentle loosener from Dwarshuis. It's full and sliding down the leg side, Khawaja tickles it fine down the leg side for a boundary.
Ben Dwarshuis will bowl from the other end.

Jackson Bird To Alex Hales OUT!
OUT! Bird draws first blood! A golden duck for Alex Hales and it's a big blow to the Thunder, bigger to those who picked him in their fantasy team. Terrific delivery by Bird. He delivers it on the shorter side around middle and off, hurrying up the batsman. Hales opens up in his stance as he attempts to glance it on the leg side. But it takes the top edge and balloons towards point. Silk calls for it and runs across to his left to complete the catch with a full length dive.

Some movement off the deck for Bird. He lands it on a fuller length and just outside off, it hits the surface and moves back in just a shade. Khawaja watches it closely before making a leave.
We are ready to get the run chase underway! The Sixers' players are making their way out to the ground to defend 76. Will they be able to do it? Alex Hales and Usman Khawaja follow them out. Jackson Bird will begin the proceedings for the Sixers.
