10.30 pm So a resounding 59-run win in the end for Sixers as Steven Smith scores the first ever century for a Sixers player. Strikers were still in the game at the halfway stage, but the mounting required run rate forced their hand with more heaves to the boundary that only managed to find fielders inside the rope.

Sixers captain Moises Henriques: "It was a good game for us. When you score over 200, they usually go one of two ways. Either a really close one or a blowout. Steve was amazing tonight, would've gone even further if we didn't run him out. I probably cost him 30 or 40 runs. He had some nice catches. He was on tonight. Hopefully we see him around in the magenta a little more often."

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