Commentator: Deivarayan Muthu
10.20pm What can you hope for when you've played as many as 60 dots in a T20 innings. Not much, I suppose. The Sixers lost Denly early in the chase but Maddinson and Hughes put them back on track with a flurry of boundaries. The result now means the Stars are out of contention for the knockouts. That is all we have for you from this match. Goodbye and good night for now

Coleman to Hughes, 1 run, back of a length and angling away outside off, skied in the air over the two chasing fielders at midwicket. That is that. The Sixers win by eight wickets
