So that is it from the coverage. Sydney Sixers possess a streak of four consecutive wins at the moment. Do switch tabs to keep an eye on Pakistan versus New Zealand 1st Test where Wasim Jr. and Saud Shakeel are fighting their way to save the match. Until then, this is Arijit Kundu, taking your leave alongside co-commentator Akshay Bhide and scorer/analyst Manish Bishnoi.
Player of the Match: Chris Jordan.
Earlier, the Renegades failed to get a bright start as Nic Maddinson and Martin Guptil were dismissed early.
Shaun Marsh and Aaron Finch kept on ticking the scoreboard for a while with a good rotation of the strike. As soon as Marsh looked to step on the accelerator, he was taken aback by Izharulhaq Naveed. Finch too followed him as the pressure was building.
Jordan was outstanding in the slog overs for the Sixers as he dishes a few outstanding Yorkers and kept the opposition on the back foot. The Renegades could gather only 124 runs inside 20 overs and lost seven of their wickets. Hayden Kerr and Chris Jordan bagged two wickets each and three wickets were distributed equally between Ben Dwarshuis, Izharulhaq Naveed, and Jackson Bird.
Arriving for the chase, Will Sutherland removed Josh Philippe early today. The Renegades failed to capitalize on the pressure as Kurtis Patterson and James Vince played the opposition watchfully. Both batters glued a 60 runs partnership together before Tom Rogers removed him. The equation was less than run-a-ball at the halfway stage of the game.
Akeal Hosein bagged two wickets for the Renegades and some tight bowling from him and Mujeeb Ur Rahman meant that the chase went down to over no. 18. The Power Surge was taken after the 17th over and Dan Christian smacked four monotonous boundaries to drive the Sixers to a victory with 13 balls to spare.
4:05 PM IST | Four back-to-back boundaries to cross the finishing line and Dan Christian pumps the Sixers to their fourth consecutive victory of the season. Moises Henriques-led side has managed to win both the home and away encounter against the Renegades and with that Sydney Sixers jumps into the top two spots in the points table.
17.5 K Richardson to D Christian
4 Hammered and the Sixers seal the deal with four boundaries in a row. Richardson bowls it on a length and offers plenty of width, Christian stands still and thrashes it past covers for a boundary. The sweeper in the off side has no chance of stopping this one. With this, the Sixers beat the Renegades by six wickets with 13 balls to spare.
17.4 K Richardson to D Christian
4 Make that three boundaries in a row. That is crunched through covers. Richardson attempts a yorker but misses his mark as he ends up bowling a half-volley, Christian sits deep in his crease and drives it hard past the diving covers fielder for a boundary.
7 runs needed from 15 balls now and Christian is making every use of the powerplay.
17.3 K Richardson to D Christian
4 Back-to-back boundaries for Christian. Again shimmies down the wicket and drills the length delivery in the gap between mid off and covers for a cracking boundary. That should be the game for the Sixers.
17.2 K Richardson to D Christian
4 FOUR!!! Christian takes the aerial route and collects a boundary. Charges down the track and opens his bat face to slice the fuller delivery over point. Beats the sweeper to his left and collects a boundary.
