PLAYER OF THE MATCH

That's all from us today. Hobart Hurricanes have had a wake-up call, which is not always a bad thing. It might stir them back into full gear. Hope you enjoyed our coverage. See you tomorrow.

22:04 Local Time, 11:04 GMT, 16:34 IST: Quite a stunning result, or rather the manner of it. Sydney Sixers have chased down a target of 173 with 17 balls to spare, and that too against a team that has dominated this competition so far. The pair of Josh Philippe and James Vince were absolutely sensational as they put on a show with an unbeaten second-wicket stand of 167, after the early loss of Daniel Hughes. They just didn't allow the Hurricanes a way back into it. Taking nothing away from Vince, Philippe - with his maiden BBL fifty - was just breathtaking, and is the Man of the Match.
