10.15pm Hurricanes off the mark then, making it 1-1 against Sixers, who are still on top of the table. Hurricanes now move to third but that could change quickly because the second game is going on not too far away, at the Sydney Showground Stadium, between Perth Sorchers and Adelaide Strikers. Tune in for that, and do keep joining us for live coverage. For now, it's goodbye from Vishal Dikshit.

10.01pm Ellis celebrates by pumping the air with his right hand, a great way for Hurricanes to register their first win of their campaign, in fine fashion against the mighty defending champions. They did almost all things right from the beginning, apart from a few dropped catches and a stumping from Wade towards the end - won the toss, got a scintillating opening stand thanks to Wade, and even though Short was scratchy in the beginning, he made up for it in the end to give them a 200-plus total. For quite some time it looked like the Sixers were in the chase, mainly led by Philippe, but David's impressive start with his flat offbreaks, Paris' accuracy with changes of pace, Ellis' swing and Lamichhane's wonderful leg breaks and googlies were too much to handle for them.
