Sydney Sixers Form

The Sydney Sixers are second of the Big Bash table on 23 points after winning six of their eight matches.

Unfortunately the Sixers missed the opportunity to put pressure on the Perth Scorchers at the top of the able. Hayden Kerr took 4-32 to restrict the Scorchers to a below par 143 runs last time out.

The chase should have been straightforward but the Sixers were 16-4 before the third over was complete. Dan Christian later scored 73 off 61 balls to get the Sixers close but the Scorchers did enough in the end to win.
