A fine way to bring up a superb 50 off 27 balls.

Jordan Silk can't connect properly on the slog sweep and just swipes it round the corner for a single.

Jordan Silk tries to cart the last ball of the over into the stands behind square leg but the ball flies upwards.

Nic Maddison runs in but spills the catch as he tumbles forward. Not the best effort.

That crucially allows the Sixers to get two to return Josh Philippe to the strike.

Jordan Silk sits back and wallops a back of a length delivery in the gap between long on and deep mid-wicket for a one-bounce four.

Jordan Silk swings it out between long on and deep mid-wicket to scamper two.

That's the 100 up for the hosts.

Jordan Silk comes to the party!

Nathan Coulter-Nile bangs it in short but the ball just sits up and Silk crashes a pull shot deep into the stands behind mid-wicket.

The hosts really needed that. Two overs to go - what can they set?

A remarkable one-handed catch in the crowd there as well.

What a ridiculous shot this is.

Josh Philippe walks a long way outside off, Nathan Coulter-Nile follows him with a slower ball and Philippe can't ramp it so just guides the ball, very close to his stumps, on the 45 down to fine leg for a single.

Jordan Silk survives an lbw shout off Nathan Coulter-Nile that was probably sliding down.

The key thing for the Sixers is he scrambles a bye to put Josh Philippe on strike.

Jordan Silk is on the mic and says his side want 110 at least.

Three overs to go and 28 runs needed to reach that target.

Jordan Silk pulls the last ball in front of mid-wicket and wants two to give Josh Philippe the strike.

It's going to be tight with Glenn Maxwell doing the fielding but Philippe gets home.

Haris Rauf starts well with four singles in four balls but bangs down a very short bouncer that is rightly called wide on height.

Rauf complains but that bounced closer to him than the batsman.

Haris Rauf went for 14 off his first over. Can he fare better in his second?

That's a superb over from Stars captain Glenn Maxwell - six runs and a wicket.

The hosts really need to get Josh Philippe on strike as much as possible now and hope he goes big.

Top running from Josh Philippe and Sixers captain Moises Henriques, turning one into two as they spot fine leg has a long throw on.
