Plumb lbw! That finishes it! A superb slower ball! A brilliant slower ball yorker on that drops on Rauf and pins him on the toe infront of middle.
Sixers vs Stars, Qualifier at Melbourne, BBL, Jan 31 2020 - Match Result
The Sixers win by 43 runs and will host the BBL final! The Stars are all out for 99. That is a the Stars lowest score in their history surpassing the previous worst score of 115 that came against the Heat in their last game. What a disaster for the Stars. They will now host the winner of the Adelaide Strikers and Sydney Thunder on Thursday. The Sixers host the BBL final on Saturday next week. Josh Hazlewood: "Pretty much the perfect bowling performance. We did a lot of things right and we can improve on a couple of things for next week."
Steve O'Keefe is Player of the Match for his 2 for 22 from four including the key wicket of Maxwell.
The Stars need to regroup quickly. Thanks for your company on a hectic night of cricket. Join us tomorrow from Adelaide as the Strikers host the Thunder in the Knockout.

dez: "Fully agree with Dipen. I would hardly call the knock he played in the Melbourne derby a difficult situation - 13 overs left, run rate under control and playing the holders of the wooden spoon." 115 needed off 79 and his partner only contributed 31? Tough school Dez? His T20I hundreds in 2018 and 2019 in chases against England and India long forgotten too it seems
