10:47pm And that is the group stage done. Sydney Sixers and Perth Scorchers finish top two, and will face off at the Sixers' ground for a direct shot at the grand final. Sydney Thunder, Brisbane Heat and Adelaide Strikers are the teams that follow them into the playoffs. It will be Brisbane Heat v Adelaide Strikers to start things off in the knockout phases, the winner will play third-placed Sydney Thunder. And the winner of that will take on the loser from the top-two clash. That is how things are lined up.

Much closer, it is Ben Dwarshuis who is Player of the Match for his three wickets and being part of the bowling effort that restricted Melbourne Stars early in the game. Stars needed all four points to go through and their batting in the first 10 overs simply made that untenable. Sixers got to that in eight overs, and had good batting efforts from Vince and Henriques at the start, and then Silk and Christian at the end. A beautifully paced chase after they had sealed first spot in eight overs. Thank you for joining us tonight. We will see you soon.

Stanlake to Christian, FOUR, top edge runs away fine of fine leg and that is the victory sealed for Sixers, who finish top of the table by some distance. A sharp bouncer at the helmet, but he managed to get enough on it

Short third, point, extra cover, mid-off and mid-on are the fielders in the circle

Stanlake to Silk, 1 run, slower bouncer at off stump, pulled to deep square

Stanlake to Christian, 1 run, high full toss and a miscued pull into the midwicket region. That was above waist height, surely? Certainly marginal, but not called

Trent: "Dan "fine wine" Christian"

Stanlake to Christian, SIX, oh and that will silence them! Short ball at leg stump, stands up tall with a forward press and smokes this pull over square leg

Stanlake to Christian, no run, crowd comes to life as he beats the bat with a slower short ball that grips and climbs. He was backing away, looking to dab it past short third

END OF OVER:
19 | 11 Runs | SS: 168/5 (10 runs required from 6 balls, RR: 8.84, RRR: 10.00)

  • Jordan Silk34 (24b)
  • Dan Christian38 (19b)
  • Sam Rainbird4-0-39-1
  • Nathan Coulter-Nile4-0-35-1

This must be one of the lowest risk T20 chases in a long time. The required rate has been steep, but you woudnt't know it. They've brought it down to ten off the last over now. Can they seal it? Stanlake to try and stop them.

Rainbird to Silk, 2 runs, slower ball, short of a length at middle stump. Pulls to deep midwicket's right and they steal a second
