6.24pm This was a weird little game. Both teams kept gifting the other side the advantage all afternoon. Rashid took his third T20 hat-trick, Curran took four, Weatherald made 40-odd, Pope impressed, but the day belonged to Josh Hazlewood, who saw through a tricky period with three fours in three balls to help Sixers eventually cruise to victory. Don't forget to catch the day's second BBL game that begins in 14 minutes. See you there!

Siddle to Hazlewood, FOUR, What a way to finish this game! Hazlewood hits three fours on his birthday to win it for the Sixers! Full, just outside off, and he caresses a drive through the covers.
Sixers need three

Siddle to Hazlewood, FOUR, back of a length, on off, from around the wicket. Backs away and cuts it over point for four! Can the birthday boy win it for his team?
