10.30 pm The Sixers do enough to win by eight wickets at the SCG. They inflict an important loss on the Thunder, which dents their hopes of a semi-final spot. The Thunder, though, can take credit for making it a much tighter game that what it seemed halfway through the second innings. Smiles all around in the Sixers camp as we big goodbye. Hope you enjoyed ESPNcricinfo's coverage of the Sydney derby from the Big Bash League. It's Sreshth Shah, bidding good bye!

Hughes: Lot of slower balls at the end, Nair bowled tight. Our spirits been high through the tournament. Hopefully we can stitch a few more wins together. We just wanted to run hard, and great to have Moises back in the field. Lots of new faces around the group, Carlos was awesome in the Powerplay with the ball.

19.6

Green to Henriques, 2 runs, full outside off, muscled square past midwicket to wide long off, Sandhu is sluggish in the deep, and that allows them to come back for the second. Sixers win by eight wickets, their first win of the season!

Change in the field. Long off goes back, square leg comes in. There's the man at deep midwicket. Short fine leg is in. So is short third man. Long off is back as well.

19.5

Green to Hughes, 1 run, yorker outside off, dug away to cover. One for a super over, two for the win!

19.4

Green to Henriques, 1 run, low full toss on leg stump, clipped off his pads to midwicket. He wants the single, and done easily despite Green breaking the stumps. Terrific call from the umpire, chooses not even to go to the third umpire. Three needed off two now.

19.3

Green to Hughes, 1 run, yorker on off stump, dug away to mid off. They scamper through for the run as Green misfields chasing the ball

Ashar: "When openers were at the crease, it was looking like that they were in a hurry. Eventually it turned to be a nail biter. #Cricket"

19.2

Green to Hughes, 2 runs, full and wide outside off, spins further away, cut to deep point, and Hughes manages to turn back for another second.

Seven off five needed

19.1

Green to Hughes, 2 runs, full toss outside off, muscled over the non-striker's head to long on

Green's been given the final over

END OF OVER:
19 | 10 Runs | SS: 148/2 (9 runs required from 6 balls, RR: 7.78, RRR: 9.00)

Moises Henriques15 (11b)
Daniel Hughes60 (51b)

Mitchell McClenaghan4-0-34-0
Chris Green3-0-13-0

18.6

McClenaghan to Henriques, 2 runs, full toss on off stump, lifted to long on for a single. They want the second, though, and Hughes may be in trouble! Vince thorws in flat, and McClenaghan is positioned near the stumps, but Hughes' diving effort saves him. Sixers need nine to win off the final over.

18.5

McClenaghan to Hughes, 1 run, slower ball outside off, and it's been pulled over midwicket. Not timed well at all because of the slower ball (106 kph), lands inside the circle. They want the second, but Hughes slips while turning. Only a single.

18.4

McClenaghan to Henriques, 1 run, back of a length on middle stump, pulled powerfully to Sandhu in the deep. They're not gonna take his arm on for the second

18.3

McClenaghan to Hughes, 1 run, slower ball full outside off, drags his pull along the ground to deep backward square

over the wicket to Hughes, the left hander.

18.2

McClenaghan to Henriques, 1 run, full toss wide outside off, slapped behind to the man at short third man

18.1

McClenaghan to Henriques, FOUR, full outside off, and it's in Mo's arc! Stays still and slogs this over cover. Wide long off can't intercept

Nineteen needed off 12. McClenaghan around the wicket.

END OF OVER:
18 | 6 Runs | SS: 138/2 (19 runs required from 12 balls, RR: 7.66, RRR: 9.50)

Chris Green3-0-13-0
Arjun Nair4-0-26-1

17.6

Green to Henriques, 1 run, Henriques backs away, and Green follows him. Low full toss outside leg stump, bunted away to mid off. Terrific over from Green

17.5

Green to Henriques, no run, full on middle stump, low yorker bunted back to the bowler. Lots of movement from Henriques before Green bowled, but the bowler kept his composure

17.4

Green to Hughes, 1 run, tossed up full and wide outside off, Hughes comes down the ground but mistimes his drive to long off

17.3

Green to Henriques, 1 run, tossed up full on off stump, hit firmly to cover. Calls early for the single

17.2

Green to Henriques, 2 runs, thick outside edge! Good length on off stump, Moises backs away and looks to drive inside out, but takes the outside edge. Work for short third man once more

17.1

Green to Hughes, 1 run, full outside off, swept square to deep midwicket. Hit well, but straight to the fielder

Green, around the wicket

END OF OVER:
17 | 5 Runs 1 Wkt | SS: 132/2 (25 runs required from 18 balls, RR: 7.76, RRR: 8.33)

Arjun Nair4-0-26-1
Shane Watson2-0-26-0

16.6

Nair to Hughes, 1 run, full on middle stump, clipped off his pads to Chris Green at wide long on. Great effort from the fielder to stop them from taking the extra run

Neeraj: "Worried about McClenaghan bowling at the end once again!" -- The target's too less to worry about that any more.

16.5

Nair to Henriques, 1 run, full outside off, stays still and cuts late past first slip. Intercepted by short third man

16.4

Nair to Henriques, 2 runs, full outside off, big wind up from the batsman, and the drive takes an outside edge. Flies just past first slip, and there's work to do for Fawad from short third man
