They let things slip a bit towards the death, but Sixers played a wonderful T20 match here to get themselves over the line for the first time. They were excellent through the opposition's middle overs, keeping some powerful batters muzzled.

But most of the credit has to go to KJP and Reeza Hendricks, who put on 154 off 88 balls, and sent Sixers screaming towards a victory. Although Taskin Ahmed (who had a horror first three overs) removed KJP and Hendricks, Mark Chapman was on hand to ensure the finish came about smoothly.

That's it from us, folks. Catch you on Tuesday for more from the LPL.

Pathirana to Chapman, SIX, bludgeoned down the ground, and that's the game. This is full, Pathirana missing his yorker. and Chapman stays deep in the crease and whomps this down the ground, over straight long on. Clears the boundary with ease, and Sixers are finally on the board.

Pathirana to Chapman, no run, tries to club this on the offside but can't beat the field
17.3
6
Pathirana to Chapman, SIX, short, wide and, larrupped over the deep point boundary. This is easy pickings for Chapman, but good timing nonetheless, lifts it just over that boundary, clearing it by a foot or so
17.2
6
Pathirana to Chapman, SIX, powerfully struck. This is a short ball, waist high. Chapman tells himself to watch the ball, and he stands tall and slams that flat and hard over deep square leg for six. Sixers will breathe easier after that

Pathirana to Igalagamage, 1 run, yorker on the stumps, dug out towards square leg and they scamper through

Akindu: "You could say as far as kjp and hendricks were concerned taskin lost all the battles but won the war" Not sure about that Akindu. A lot of damage done in those first three Taskin overs.
