10.31 So that last ball six by Dwarsuis to end the first innings winds up being the exact margin of victory. Plenty of drama at the end of both innings, but the home side comes out on top.

Sean Abbott is named player of the match: "The wicket suited our style of bowling. Lots of cutters. Credit to AJ [Tye]. Personally as a fast bowler, I like to see the skills on show. There's been a lot of footy here so there's some tired wickets. They're a class lineup no matter who they put out. They play really well in their conditions at home and if we come up against them [at Perth] it'll be tough. We've got a great home crowd advantage here. The best crowd I ever played in was a home final here against the Scorchers a couple of years ago."

That's it for today's coverage. Come back tomorrow for some more BBL action. Until then, take care!

Any legal delivery will end the game now with 8 needed off 1.

10 off two needed. And now the set man Eskinazi is off strike.

Does Christian regret not running out Eskinazi last over when he had the chance?

16 off the last over to win. Pendulum has swung firmly to the Sixers after that over by Christian.

No shortage of drama at both ends of the wicket in that sequence.

Christian pulls out of his delivery with Eskinazi leaving the non-striker's crease a bit early. Christian could have broken the bails and Eskinazi would clearly have been out. Christian audibly shouts at Eskinazi on his way back, "That's your warning, mate. That's your warning." He's been running some very tight twos and perhaps because he's getting a head start.

That last ball six to end the first innings is looking awfully significant now.

Dan Christian is being brought on for his first over of the night here in the penultimate over at the death.

If Smith hadn't slipped, he'd have gotten two hands to that chance in his stride upright.
