7.03pm The Sydney Sixers can only blame themselves for that performance, they threw their wickets away with such soft strokes that they quickly slumped to 5 for 46. Thereon, you rarely win matches. The Sixers kept fighting, but the damage was done. The Scorchers, clinical as they have been throughout this competition, did what they needed to, although they took that chase deeper than they would have wanted.
But with the job done, I doubt they'll care much. The Sixers have lost both their games so far, both primarily due to sub-par batting performances. A break will do them good, and they'll be back after the break.
Scores level. The Scorchers will have a happy Christmas, the Sixers not so much
2 off 13.
