10.02pm A game where the Scorchers were always behind since the start. They started slowly with the bat and were always playing catch-up. The Sixers bowlers set the game up with a clinical performance, limiting a strong Scorchers batting line-up to just 130. The Sixers began well in the chase, and stayed ahead till the end. A win they can be proud of.

That's it from all of us here from game seven. We'll be back again tomorrow for Brisbane Heat v Sydney Thunder. See you soon.

Jhye Richardson to Botha, SIX runs

and that should be the game. Another slower ball, this one pitches, but right in Botha's slot. He lifts his elbow and lifts the ball straight over mid-off. Lands over the boundary.

Jhye Richardson to Botha, FOUR runs

a slower loopy full toss outside off, 102 ks. Botha watches the ball and hammers a drive between cover and mid-off. Good idea, poor execution

Tye to Silk, OUT

poor stroke, considering it was Tye's last ball. On the pads, the knuckle ball. Silk was beaten for pace and misses his swing into the leg side. Ricochets onto leg stumps via the pad

Jhye Richardson to Botha, 1 run

another non-existent run. Fullish around off, pushed to short cover. The bowler hares after it and misses the stumps at the batsman's end in his follow-through. Would have been out too

Jhye Richardson to Silk, 1 run

shovelled to short midwicket for a tough run. The fielder misses the stumps. No need for that run. Out by a distance if he hit, Turner the man
