Sydney Thunder defeated Sixers by 46 runs in Adelaide on Friday. Chasing a mammoth 233, Sixers were restricted to 186/5 in 20 overs. Sixers were off to a steady start as the openers, Josh Philippe and James Vince put 40 on the board for the first wicket but Philippe’s departure saw some quick wickets going down.
They were 62/3 when Moises Henriques and Jordan Silk joined hands and stitched a stand of 90 runs for the 4th wicket. Henriques notched up 52 while Silk was cleaned up by Dogglett for 42.
But their efforts went in vain as Sixers lost the match eventually.
