Sydney Sixers vs Hobart Hurricanes, Challenger, Big Bash League 2025-26 - Highlights

Billy Stanlake to Ben Manenti, FOUR, nicely played, slower ball from Stanlake, but there's width on offer and Manenti cuts it late, beats backward point to his left and runs away to the ropes

Riley Meredith to Jack Edwards, out Bowled!! That's straight through Edwards's defences - Meredith kept it full and gets it to straighten onto the right-hander, Edwards was playing the angle as he looked to whip and missed it completely - the ball crashing into the middle-stump - Sixers are getting the boundaries, but they're also losing wickets in clumps. Jack Edwards b Riley Meredith 15(12) [4s-2]

Riley Meredith to Jack Edwards, FOUR, oh dear! That's a poor ball, full-toss on the hips and it's whipped behind square on the on-side for a boundary

Riley Meredith to Ben Dwarshuis, out Ben Dwarshuis Run Out!! A direct hit at the bowler's end and Dwarshius could be short here, was the slower ball that was pushed across the lefgt-hander, Dwarshius swung across and was undone by the lack of pace - the ball bounced through to Wade and he fumbled, that alerted Jack Edwards into attempting a run, but the keeper recovers quickly and then makes a direct hit at the bowler's end - Dwarshuis was late to start and had no chance, caught short by a few yards. Ben Dwarshuis run out (Matthew Wade) 0(1)

Riley Meredith to Lachlan Shaw, out Caught by Rishad Hossain !! That's a dolly to Rishad at short fine - was the slower short ball and Shaw was looking to lap it over the infield, no pace to work with and he ends up lobbing a sitter into short fine's lap - end of another sparkling cameo though. Lachlan Shaw c Rishad Hossain b Riley Meredith 21(13) [4s-4]

Webster to Jack Edwards, FOUR, lovely shot, fuller length delivery and well wide of off - Edwards uses his raech and then plays a forehand shovel, clears extra-cover and runs away to the ropes

Riley Meredith to Lachlan Shaw, FOUR, oh, that could have been the catch of the tournament had the ball stuck - fuller length delivery outside off and Shaw bent down low on the slog-sweep - used Meredith's pace and lapped it over square leg - Tim Ward ran to his left at deep backward square leg, threw himself on the ball and it nearly stuck onto his left hand, but it bounces out as he fell onto the ground and rolls over the cushions

Riley Meredith to Lachlan Shaw, FOUR, slapped, width on offer and Shaw clibs onto the cut, hammers it in front of square on the off-side and beats the fielder in the deep to his right

Riley Meredith to Joel Davies, out Caught by Mitchell Owen!! Meredith has his man now - on a good length and angling into the pads, Joel Davies got inside the line and then flicked it over backward square leg, didn't bother to keep it down - there's a fielder in the deep and he hardly has to move - Owen settles under it and holds on with ease. Joel Davies c Mitchell Owen b Riley Meredith 27(12) [4s-2 6s-2]

Riley Meredith to Joel Davies, SIX, a chance and Stanlake has palmed it over the rope, back of a length and angling across the left-hander, Davies was early into the pull, catches the tope-dge and flies towards third man - Stanlake came across, stayed sideways and got both hands on the ball, but it bounces off and drops over, don't think he could have held on even if he had taken it cleanly

Webster to Lachlan Shaw, FOUR, lovely, on a good length and a hint of width outside off - Shaw leans into the drive and finds the gap square past cover, races away across the fast outfield

Rishad Hossain to Moises Henriques, out Caught by Chris Jordan!! Another excellent catch and the Canes have struck twice in the power surge - dropped short and Henriques backed himself on the pull, went a tad too hard and miscued it to the right of mid-on - Jordan runs across to his right, the ball was dipping onto him, but he manages to get both hands and holds onto a skimmer. Moises Henriques c Chris Jordan b Rishad Hossain 19(8) [4s-2 6s-1]

Rishad Hossain to Smith, out Bowled!!

Smith b Rishad Hossain 65(43) [4s-9 6s-1]

Billy Stanlake to Josh Philippe, out Bowled!! Chopped on! The slower ball does the trick for Stanlake - slower ball outside off and Philippe was on the move as he looked to tuck it onto the off-side, the ball catches the under-edge and then bounces back onto the stumps. The zing bails light up and the partnership has been broken. They've taken drinks at the fall of the wicket. Josh Philippe b Billy Stanlake 15(15) [4s-2]

Will Prestwidge to Smith, FOUR, a 31-ball half-century for Smith - on a length and pushed across the right-hander, Smith gets across and then delays the bat swing, slices it over backward point for a boundary, he's in some form at the moment - 20 off the over

Billy Stanlake to Daniel Hughes, out Caught by Tim Ward!! Has it carried to deep backward square leg? The fielder is claiming the catch and the 3rd umpire will have a look - the soft signal is OUT and Hughes is already walking. On a length and angling into the left-hander, whipped with the angle and behind square on the on-side - Ward ran in from the deep, slid forward went with soft hands and clutches a beauty. One look is all it took for the TV umpire to send Hughes on his way. Daniel Hughes c Tim Ward b Billy Stanlake 13(10) [4s-1 6s-1]

No, no bat / glove, the Canes have lost their review
