10.20pm What can you hope for when you've played as many as 60 dots in a T20 innings. Not much, I suppose. The Sixers lost Denly early in the chase but Maddinson and Hughes put them back on track with a flurry of boundaries. The result now means the Stars are out of contention for the knockouts. That is all we have for you from this match. Goodbye and good night for now

Coleman to Hughes, 2 runs

13.4
Coleman to Hughes, no run

Coleman slips in a slower ball outside off, the batsman is early into a leg-side slog, appeal for caught behind. Replays suggest the ball lobbed off the thigh to the keeper. Or bat, thigh, and then through to the keeper? Not too sure

Coleman to Hughes, no run

good length and slanting in on middle, blocked to the leg side

13.2

Coleman to Maddinson, OUT

Ben Dunk runs across to his left from mid-on, and completes a cracking catch. He tumbled onto the ground but still hung onto the catch. This was banged in short and outside off, Maddinson can't get on top of the bounce. He flat-bats a pull in the air and holes out

12.3
Gulbis to Maddinson, no run

back of a length and slanting away outside off, Maddinson has a mighty whoosh at it and only collects fresh air

Anwar: "With depleted squads at perth and Adelaide, Lynn injured. The sixers are playing well now. Is there any chance they can qualify for top 4?? Stars seems to have no chance of qualifying even if there is a mathematical possibility. "
