O'Keefe's stellar bowling and Philippe's 47 propel Sixers to knockout qualification

Syndey Sixers were put to bat first where they posted 151 runs for the loss of seven wickets.

Josh Philippe played a crucial role at the top, scoring 47 runs off 35 deliveries. The batting effort was complemented by contributions from Jordan Silk (35 off 29), and James Vince’s 27 run-a-ball effort. Unfortunately, the rest of the batting lineup couldn't reach double digits.

Sydney Thunder's bowling attack had some success, with Nathan McAndrew and Tanveer Sangha claiming a couple of wickets each. Liam Hatcher, Daniel Sams and Toby Gray also chipped in with one wicket each.

In reply, Thunder's opening pair of David Warner and Alex Hales provided a solid start with a 44-run partnership for the first wicket. However, Steve O'Keefe turned the tide in favor of the Sixers by dismissing Hales and Cameron Bancroft in the fifth over.

As the game progressed, wickets continued to fall, and the Sixers maintained a commanding position. The Thunder were eventually bundled out for 132/10, falling short of the target with just one ball to spare. David Warner emerged as the top scorer for the Thunder with 37 runs.

Sean Abbott and Hayden Kerr secured two wickets for the Sixers while Jack Edwards and Ben Dwarshuis picked up one.

Steve O’Keefe was named the Player of the Match for his three-wicket haul.
