Sydney Thunder become the first team to bow out of the tournament. Their fielding was a big let down today. The batting, bowling and the fielding failed for Thunder. Sixers need a massive effort to get to the semi-final.

Daniel Hughes is the Man of the match for his unbeaten 51. That's it from all of us here. Join us on the first of January. Till then good night and happy new year from all of us here
