8.45pm Jordan Silk's 45-ball 66 has meant that the Sixers have a fairly competitive total on the board. It was a hard fought innings, after the Strikers had pulled things back in the middle overs following a brisk start in the powerplay. Jamie Overton with figures of 3 for 23 did most of the damage up top, but Silk hung around, and made sure his side would have something to defend. 155 is score both sides might be happy with though, so be sure to join us a for a fascinating chase shortly!
