Birt started the acceleration and the partnership between Shah and Wells and also the one between Shah and Jaques kept up the momentum. The final over and the penultimate over of Afridi helped them in sustaining the momentum. Owais Shah is the player of the match for his unbeaten 49. Thanks for joining us and hope to have you for the second game today, played between Sydney Sixers and Perth Scorchers which is starting now
