The two teams had earlier faced off in the Qualifier of the ongoing edition of the BBL, which had a controversial finish. Sixers' batsman James Vince needed 2 runs for his century with the team a run away from victory, when Andrew Tye bowled a short ball down the leg which was signaled a wide.
While the contest ended with a win for the Sydney-based franchise by a margin of nine wickets, Vince was left short of his individual milestone.
Former England captain Michael Vaughan openly expressed his lack of belief in Tye's intentions, while reacting to a video of the delivery on Twitter. "No one can tell me that he didn't mean to do that ... !! Poor form from AJ Tye ...," read the tweet from the former cricketer.
