6.24pm This was a weird little game. Both teams kept gifting the other side the advantage all afternoon. Rashid took his third T20 hat-trick, Curran took four, Weatherald made 40-odd, Pope impressed, but the day belonged to Josh Hazlewood, who saw through a tricky period with three fours in three balls to help Sixers eventually cruise to victory. Don't forget to catch the day's second BBL game that begins in 14 minutes. See you there!

Sixers need three

David: "This over (presumably from Conway) needs to go big for the sixers, because Siddle bowling the 19th will be too hard to get away."
