That's it from our coverage from match number 2 in the Big Bash League! Ninaad Dixit signing off on behalf of my co-commentator Soumarya Dutta and scorer Paras Yadav. Stay tuned for more action from around the world.
Moises Henriques (Sydney Sixers Captain & Player of the Match): "It was a nerve wracking game but we put our best foot forward and got ourselves to a winning start. We bowled well and the wicket was quite good. We were confident of chasing it down. I was trying to watch the ball till the end and hit it well. We targeted the short boundary and it was always going to be tough for Adam Zampa as we targeted him in the Surge. Dwarshuis and Abbott bowled well in the death. Joel Davies also did a good job and really happy for him. "
