Wicket. OUT! Caught. Ben Dwarshuis to Liam Hatcher. Reverse Swing-Out length ball, down leg side on the front foot Slog, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to point, caught by Shaw. Melbourne Stars were restricted to a modest total. The openers provided a promising start but failed to convert it into a substantial foundation. Marcus Stoinis and Blake Macdonald steadied the innings with valuable contributions, lifting the total through the middle phase. However, the lower order offered little resistance, allowing the momentum to slip away late. It was a disciplined and incisive bowling performance from the Sixers, who kept the Stars under constant pressure. Ben Dwarshuis was the standout, finishing with four wickets, with Jack Edwards supporting him with three wickets to cap off an impressive spell. Join us shortly for the run chase.
