10.48 pm: Hobart Hurricanes pocket 3 points. Sydney Sixers get 1 point, for being ahead at the 10-over mark. I can foresee a lot of discussion around this rule, but that's for later on in the tournament. For now, this is Saurabh Somani, signing off, on behalf of Chandan too.

Tim David is the player of the match. "Was glad we could get to a good score. Lots of new faces but it's been great fun. Awesome to start with a win, we're stoked."

Stats maven Shiva Jayaraman has this shrewd observation: "Contrasting results of taking the Power Surge for the teams in this game. In six overs since taking the Power Surge Hobart Hurricanes scored 82 runs at 13.66 runs an over. In six overs since Sydney Sixers took the Power Surge, they managed just 42 runs. Sixers had raced to 99/1 from 11 overs before opting for Power Surge."

10.41 pm: Hurricanes have won by 16 runs. Superb contest all the way through, both teams had it in their grasp at various times, but the Hurricanes were better with the ball in the latter half than the Sixers were. The defending champions open their campaign with a loss. Superb hands by Ingram first up, and then David really cut loose for Hurricanes. Meredith provided the firepower with the ball after Vince and Edwards had set the chase up for Sixers well.

Boland to Dwarshuis, FOUR, fuller outside off, makes room and drills it straight back past the bowler

Boland to Brathwaite, 1 run, full on the legs again. Brathwaite is making a giant stride to clear his front leg and that gives him room to swing freely but the length is such that he can only send it along the ground to deep midwicket

Boland to Christian, OUT, chipped to cover. Superb bowling. He kept it full and on the legside - exactly the plan Christian himself bowled in fact - and although Christian was making room, the ball was still too close to him. Tried to steer it away but ended up chipping to the man

Boland to Brathwaite, 1 run, low full toss on leg stump ,he's clearing his front leg and swinging mightily, gets it off the middle but it's to deep midwicket and there's a fielder there

25 needed off the last over and Brathwaite on strike. We've been here before.
