Comprehensive win for the Hurricanes to start their campaign. It was set up by a stunning opening partnership in the first innings. D'Arcy Short was devastating on T20 debut. Tim Paine provided great support to set up a big total. The Sixers chase was on the rate for quite some time but they kept losing wickets at regular intervals. A three-wicket over from Shaun Tait put the game beyond doubt.

So the Sixers are now 1-1 and will host the Scorchers next Tuesday at the SCG. The Hurricanes play again on Boxing day in Hobart when they host the Melbourne Stars.

W
Tait to Mennie, OUT

Brilliant run out! Bailey has produced something special. Mennie cracks a drive to cover, Bailey makes a diving save, there's some confusion before Bollinger decides to turn back at the non striker's end, Bailey jumped to his feet and hits the one stump he has to aim at. Bollinger is inches short! That will do it.

There's a delay in play. The middle stump was wired with a camera and sound equipment and all of that has been ripped out from the ground. So technicians are out there fixing it up.

Tait to Billings, OUT

What a yorker!! Up roots middle stump! This is a cracker from Tait. Fast inswinger right on the money and Billings plays all over it and the middle peg is flattened. Comprehensive from Tait

Tait to Abbott, OUT

Caught behind! Short outside off stump, Abbott made an awkward swipe and got a little bottom edge and Paine reaches forward to claim the catch. They check with the TV umpire whether it has carried and Paine clearly got his fingers underneath it. Another one falls.
