The Sixers win by 7 wickets with 8 balls to spare. That was a clinical chase. A masterclass from Steve Smith after a brilliant start from Vince and Philippe. The latter made a lovely half-century. The Renegades woes with the ball continue. They also dropped a stack of catches, albeit most of them pretty tough. Not often a player makes a century in a T20 game and his side loses but that is the case for Aaron Finch and his men. Steve Smith the star in the chase and he is Player of the Match. Smith: "I'm cooked. very humid out here. Did lots of running but good to get some runs and get the boys home. Philippe has a bright future. He made it a lot easier for me."

The Sixers move back to second spot on the table but have to wait until the Adelaide Strikers play tomorrow to see if they get the double chance. The Renegades have one game to go against the Brisbane Heat on Monday. The Heat take on the Melbourne Stars at the MCG tonight. That game starts shortly. Thanks for your company from the SCG.
