Payne and Richardson set up Scorchers to claim sixth BBL title
Sydney Sixers were restricted to 132 and an opening stand of 80 put the home side on course for more silverware
Sydney Sixers were restricted to 132 and an opening stand of 80 put the home side on course for more silverware
Sixers had to play twice in three days with a lengthy flight between matches having also traveled to Perth earlier in the week
It was dominance personified from start to the end in front of a packed Optus Stadium and even on the road
The hosts have had the luxury of a week at home while Sixers have racked up the air miles
The allrounder starred in all three disciplines against Hobart Hurricanes and his bowling and fielding has shone throughout the season
He may have been overshadowed by other Scorchers players like Allen, Connolly etc, but he has quietly had an all-round BBL season
Can Sydney Sixers learn the lessons from earlier in the week and toppled favourites Perth Scorchers at their imposing home ground?
