End of over. Over 20. 8 runs. Bowler: Nathan McAndrew. Sydney Sixers: 198/5(rr 9.90)

Two runs. Nathan McAndrew to Jack Edwards. Reverse Swing-In half volley, down leg side on the back foot flick, mis-timed to long on for 2 runs, shy attempt by Bancroft, by McAndrew. Sydney Sixers have put on a commanding total, laying down a formidable challenge. The openers set the tone with a dominant power play, capitalising on anything loose and keeping the scoreboard ticking at a brisk rate. After the dismissal of Daniel Hughes, Babar Azam and Josh Philippe took complete control of the innings, stitching together a magnificent partnership built on composure and smart rotation of the strike. Philippe was particularly destructive, falling just short of a well-deserved century. For Sydney Thunder, Reece Topley was the standout performer with the ball, picking up three crucial wickets.
