The knock by Maddinson, bowling by the spinners, economical first spell by Lee and finally, the double wicket over by Smith contributed to the difference between the teams. Naved tried his best, but he had too much to get in the final over. Once he mistimed the scoop of the second ball, it was Sixers match to lose. O'Keefe's contribution on the field will not be visible on the scorecard but the diving saves and the acrobatic catch certainly made the difference
