Welcome back.. Sydney Sixers defend a similar total against Adelaide Strikers in their previous game and won by 1 run. Can they repeat it again today?
19:39 Local Time, 08:39 GMT, 14:09 IST: This is a good recovery from Sydney Sixers. They were struggling at 57/4 during the halfway mark but Vince has given the bowlers something to defend. Usama Mir struck thrice in the first 10 overs to blow away the top-order and at that time it seemed the home side would finish with a below par total but Vince came to their rescue. The Englishman was at one stage 17 off 20 balls but turned it around and ended up with a 55-ball 83. This is not a daunting total but the Sixers will feel they are in the game. Can Stars end their winless streak? Or will it be four in four for the Sixers? Back soon with the chase..
