Innings break Complete bowling and fielding performance from the Sixers. Ben Dwarshuis led the way with 3 for 7 from four overs. The Strikers never got going after the run out of Alex Carey. Jake Lehmann tries his best but battled for timing. They'll need a miracle to defend this total.

Andrew McGlashan has tweeted: Ben Dwarshuis in joint second place for most economical four-over spell in BBL history after his 3 for 7 #BBL08. He sits behind Mitchell Johnson (3 for 3) and alongside Lasith Malinga and Fawad Ahmed.

Curran to Neser, OUT, LBW! 106kph slower ball out of the back of the hand does the trick! It deceived Neser and dipped on him as he tried to heave it through the leg side, he gets him on the foot infront of middle stump. Not a tough call for the umpire. That was plumb
