Adelaide Strikers 167 for 3 (Carey 83*, Dwarshuis 2-41) beat Sydney Sixers 161 for 8 (Silk 50, Rashid 2-22) by six runs
Scorecard and ball-by-ball details
Adelaide Strikers belied expectations after holding their nerve against Sydney Sixers at the SCG.
The Strikers were in control after high-quality innings from Alex Carey and Jonathan Wells and excellent Power-play bowling upfront left the Sixers needing 61 from 30 balls will no recognised batsmen left. But Steve O’Keefe, Johan Botha and Ben Dwarshuis found a way to reduce the equation to 22 off seven before O’Keefe and Dwarshuis hit consecutive sixes off Ben Laughlin and Michael Neser. Another well-run two made it eight runs off three balls but Neser responded with three pinpoint yorkers to secure the Strikers second straight win.
Conversely, the talent-laden Sixers slumped to their third straight loss after their batting line-up failed to fire again.
