And that's your lot for the 2019-20 Big Bash League.
Thanks for joining me for live coverage of the final - very pleasing to get some cricket in!
We'll be back from 07:20 GMT tomorrow - hopefully - with coverage of England's third ODI against South Africa.
Do your anti-rain dances - there is a bit of wet weather forecast in Johannesburg.
For now - the Big Bash final report is building here.
Catch you soon.
Sixers captain Moises Henrique pays tribute to the groundstaff for getting the game on and congratulates the Stars for topping the group table.
Scant consolation for the Stars though as the pink confetti goes off to celebrate the Sixers' win.
It's remarkable we even got this game on tonight.
Well played to the SCG groundstaff for getting the surface playable so quickly after the rain finally stopped in Sydney on Saturday.
It's raining pretty heavily there now as well. Timing.
Melbourne Stars captain Glenn Maxwell: "I'm extremely proud of our season, to finish top of the table was a great effort.
"But we let ourselves down tonight. Onwards and updwards, we'll try to get it next year.
"Congratulations to the Sixers, they beat us comprehensively tonight."
Sixers opener Josh Philippe is named player of the final for his excellent 52 off 29 balls.
The Sixers senior players stepped up in fine style tonigh.
Josh Hazlewood, Steve O'Keefe and Nathan Lyon were all superb with the ball, taking those key wickets than ensured the Stars never really got close.
Sydney Sixers win their second Big Bash title and first since the inaugural competition in 2011-12.
Melbourne Stars have now lost three Big Bash finals.
Melbourne Stars won the bat flip and made the call to bowl first, which is what most sides do when there has been rain around.
Sydney Sixers reached 116-5 thanks to Josh Philippe's fine fifty but that felt just about par.
Yet the Sixers showed the way to bowl on this pitch and made crucial early inroads into the Stars line-up.
Melbourne Stars 97-6
A dot ball to finish.
A fitting end to a sublime bowling performance by Sydney Sixers.
The hosts win the 2019-20 Big Bash League title!
Followed by another swing and a miss.
Too little, too late.
Though the shot is anything but little.
A supreme square drive over point for six from Nick Larkin!
Target 117
A swing and a miss from a dejected Nick Larkin.
A full toss but NCN just turns it round the corner for one.
The Sixers are champions as long as Ben Dwarshuis avoids any costly wides or no balls.
Need 27 runs off five balls
NCN starts with two down the ground.
Five sixes needed...
So Melbourne Stars need 29 runs off six balls.
Nathan Coulter-Nile on strike.
Ben Dwarshius to bowl.
Target 117
When it's your day...
Nick Larkin flicks a leg-stump delivery out towards the fence.
It looks like four all the way but Jordan Silk puts in a superbly-timed dive to flick it back inside the rope and keep the Stars to two.
What a save that is!
Need 31 runs off 7 balls
That needed to go.
A back of a length slower ball and Nick Larkin misses it.
Need 31 runs off 8 balls
Josh Hazlewood pitches it up wide and Nick Larkin opens the face to slash it through point for four.
But Hazlewood hits back with a fine slower ball that Larkin misses on the cut.
Need 35 runs off 10 balls
Nick Larkin somehow slices a yorker through backward point for four.
That was a great ball but he's played it with aplomb.
