So, that is it from me, Karthik Raj and my co-commentators, Akshay Bhide and Aryasekhar Chakraborty for now. Stay tuned to the BBL play-offs with some top-notch coverage from OneCricket.
Ben Dwarshius: It was a bit of an interesting one, nice for us to get teh one point and finish the job. The Stars had to get full points and they would come out hard, so getting Stoinis early was crucial. I could improve in a few stages, but I'm happy with the 19 wickets I've got through the tournament. We have a nice family in the dressing room, get along rather well with each other. We'll have a couple of days to celebrate, and then get ready for the Scorchers.
Comments from the Man of the Match:
However, the in-form Jordan Silk combined with the veteran Daniel Christian to take the side home. Christian, in particular, was outstanding as he scored 49 off 23 balls. Melbourne Stars' campaign ended as soon as they lost the Bash Boost Point but they did well to take the game deep.
So, that superb finish helps Sydney Sixers finish as the table-toppers. They will face Perth Scorchers in the Qualifier on Saturday. This chase was by no means easy as Josh Philippe and Daniel Hughes fell within the first eight deliveries. The duo of James Vince and Moises Henriques stitched a fantastic 75-run partnership but the former fell off Nic Maddinson's bowling in the tenth over. The Sixers' innings took a further hit when Moises Henriques and Carlos Brathwaite fell in quick succession in the 13th over
19.5 Billy Stanlake to Daniel Christian
4 FOUR!!!! Christian finishes things in style. A well directed bouncer from Stanlake, Christian goes for the pull and gets a top edge that races away to the fine leg boundary. Sixers beat Stars by 5 wickets and finish at the top of the table
19.4 Billy Stanlake to Jordan Silk
1 Slower bumper and Silk pulls it along the ground to deep square leg for a run
19.3 Billy Stanlake to Daniel Christian
1 A high full toss on the body and Christian pulls it to mid on for a single. Stanlake gets away with the no ball
19.2 Billy Stanlake to Daniel Christian
6 SIXXX!!!! What a shot this is from Christian. Short on the stumps, Christian pulls it over square leg fence for a maximum. With this hit they inch closer to the finishing line
19.1 Billy Stanlake to Daniel Christian
0 A slower ball on the shorter side, Christian tries to upper cut this but misses it
Akshay: 10 required of the last over. Who's game is it going to be?
