Sydney Thunder vs Sydney Sixers, 7th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Topley to Babar Azam, out Caught by Billings!! Billings always knew that was a goner. He went straightaway and didn't take long to convince his skipper. By the time Topley landed this short of length delivery, Babar was well past his off stump looking to execute the lap shot over short fine. The ball arrived much quicker than anticipated and cramped him for room at the last moment. Takes the glove and Billings takes a fine tumbling catch to his right.
