9:15pm Little moments. Zampa deceives Henriques in flight after luring him out. The keeper misses. Henriques, who at that point was struggling to get going, then turns it around with a half-century. Ensures that he sees off the win. Little moments.

It had got to a point where Power Surge had to decide the flow of the game. Zampa, as captain, was in mood for some adventure as he brought himself on in that phase for the first time this season. Couldn't get the desired result. Silk and Henriques showed how tough a track it was to bat on. But then they hung on. And they did that to the close, which ended in heartbreak for Stars.

Webster had earlier played a stellar knock to help Stars to 150, a total that seemingly was tough due to the nature of the surface. He also chipped in with his handy medium pace, snaffling Patterson. But he couldn't end on the winning side. Sixers now move to fifth while Stars stay on seventh.

Right then, that's all I and Abhimanyu have from this game. Do jump over as Strikers and Scorchers clash in Perth. Till the next time, take care!

Webster to Silk, 1 run, Silk should have been run-out but he misses the throw at the bowler's end! Sixers sneak home with five balls and seven wickets to spare. Webster bowled it full in line of the stumps, Silk charged down and hit it straight to short mid-on and took off. Some way to win a contest.

Webster. One to win.

Wood to Henriques, FOUR, Valiant effort in vain from Cartwright. Length ball, Henriques heaves it towards the on side, where deep square leg and deep midwicket converge. Cartwright puts in the dive from deep midwicket but cannot prevent the four.

Wood to Silk, 3 runs, Oh no! Poor fielding in the deep at square leg allows them an extra run, Hatcher the fielder. He over-runs it, then regathers himself and prevents the boundary.

Hatcher to Henriques, SIX, Scoop-flicks it for six! Ho, ho, ho! It is full and wide again, just inside the tramline. Henriques moves across quickly and gets it well over where fine leg would have stood.

A change of batter on strike forces a chat between the bowler and captain.

16.3
2
Hatcher to Silk, 2 runs, Full and just outside off, wristed away to deep midwicket. The pressure by the batters results in the fielder not picking it up on the first go and concedes a second. Tom Rogers the man.

Hatcher to Silk, no run, Very full and outside off, just inside the tramline. Silk looks to dig it out but it passes past the inside edge.
