Sydney Sixers win by 14 runs in a game of more than 400 runs. Great value! Scorchers got closer than looked likely, and limited the run-rate damage, but it's all about Steve Smith and his spectacular 121. A word, too, for the role of Sean Abbott with the ball whose early wickets proved vital in the end. Sixers are back to the top of the table in the race for the finals. There's no hanging round, we are straight over to Adelaide Oval for the next game.

Mohd Irshad: "Leg bye was a mistake from Turner."

Vinod Rajpal: "Steve Smith survival at 112 was the turning point of the match, that catch at the boundary would have changed the score for Sixers to defend!"

Plenty to digest, but we'll wrap things up for this one. Another Smith Special! From Gnasher and Alex it's goodbye and thanks for joining us.
