It was a nail biting final and it went to the last ball of match. Sydney 6ers won toss and chose to bat first. They didn’t get good start and lost two quick wickets on the score of 7 in 3 overs. Maddinson and Henriques tried to build the partnership but Yasir Arafat dismissed Maddinson on 19 when SYS were at 44 in 9th over.

Skipper Henriques played captain’s knock and built 98 runs partnership with Carters to take Sydney Sixers past 140. They set a target of 148 runs for Perth in twenty20 overs. Henriques made 77 in 57 balls.

In the chase of 148, Perth Scorchers got brilliant start and openers Marsh and Klinger added 66 runs for first wicket in 10 overs. Suddenly things changed and Brett Lee took Klinger’s wicket. After this captain Voges and Marsh handled the situation took team’s total past 100 in 16th over. Doug Bollinger dismissed Voges in 17th over to make final interesting.
