END OF OVER:
20 | 11 Runs | ST: 166/6 | RR: 8.30

  • Daniel Sams50 (37b)
  • Nathan McAndrew17 (8b)
  • Carlos Brathwaite3-0-30-0
  • Jake Ball3-0-42-1

The revised target is 129 in 14 overs. 67 off 7 required for the Bash Boost Point.

9.15 The brief rain showers have stopped, the covers are back off and the chase will hopefully be starting shortly. The word is that it will be a 14-over chase. The number for the revised target still not confirmed.

9.00 pm And the rain has gotten thick enough during the interval for the covers to come on. We're going to have a delayed start to the chase.

8.45 pm Just 24 off the last two overs with the Power Surge fielding restrictions in place. Not exactly earth-shattering. Feels like an under par total. O'Keefe's spell changed the innings after Hales was flying. Two wickets in the 10th just before the break stunted the Thunder's momentum. It's the Sixers' match to lose now. Stay with us for the start of the chase shortly.

Billy: "Rain looking very ominous on the Canberra radar in about 10-15 minutes. Will it impact the 2nd innings run chase?" It was drizzling around the 15th over or so but never got heavy enough to take the players off. Something to keep an eye on for sure though during the chase.

Brathwaite to Sams, FOUR, misfires on the length going for yorker again on middle, overpitches it and Sams thumps a flat drive over mid-off. 50 up off the 37th ball to end the innings for Sams, his second ever BBL 50.
