Commentary

That's all from this contest as I, Lavil alongside Bidipto take your leave. For more action related to cricket, scroll tabs on Sportskeeda and follow the latest action. SEE YA!

James Vince (Player of the Match, 101* off 58 balls): I've got a few nineties, so it's great to both get to three figures and this win! The build-up was nice, through the innings. Historically, this ground has seen high scores. They got into a position of scoring over 220, so we knew that the conditions were great for batting.

9:20 pm local time, 3:50 pm IST: Sydney Sixers beat Melbourne Stars by six wickets

Sydney Sixers: 198/2 after 18.1 overs
James Vince: 101(58b)* | Usama Mir: 1/43 (4 overs)
Josh Philippe: 42(23b) | Tom Curran: 1/39 (3 overs)

What a win for the Sydney Sixers. They have won the game quite comprehensively and will be carrying this momentum further into the tournament. For the Stars, this is another loss for them and now they will need some changes soon else they could be staring down the barrel and have no chances of making a comeback in this season.

James Vince and Josh Philippe opened the innings as usual. The pair put on a solid partnership before Philippe was dismissed. Soon after, Moises Henriques was dismissed cheaply and since then, Vince didn't look back. After getting to his 50, Vince unleashed himself and went all out against the Stars bowling attack, accelrating at a superb rate and getting a 100. In the end, Silk ended the game with a boundary, leading them to win.

For the Stars, their poor run of form continues as they lose their fourth game on the bounce. Usama Mir and Tom Curran were the only wicket takers but they too were very expensive in the outing. Glenn Maxwell, Doug Warren and Marcus Stoinis were also expensive with the ball in hand, with only Peter Siddle being the only bowler to have managed a good economy rate.

18.1 Doug Warren to Jordan Silk, round the wicket, FOUR RUNS! THE SIXERS GET THEIR THIRD WIN ON THE TROT! Slightly short on middle-stump. Pulled away to the left of mid-wicket off the back foot for a boundary in the gap!

Doug Warren [2-0-20-0] comes back into the attack

Scores are level. A single here will end the game in favour of the Sixers

17.6 Marcus Stoinis to Jordan Silk, attempted yorker on off-stump. Flicked away from deep in the crease yet again to deep square-leg for one run. Scores are level.

17.5 Marcus Stoinis to Jordan Silk, SIX RUNS! Good length ball around off-stump. Dragged around from the meat of the blade over the left of deep square-leg for a flat maximum!

Hanks: "Need a Stoinis hattrick but then that won't do much"

17.4 Marcus Stoinis to James Vince, good length ball on off-and-middle. Vince stays deep in the crease and lofts the drive over cover to pick up another single.

17.3 Marcus Stoinis to Jordan Silk, good length ball just outside off-stump. Lofted over mid-off from deep in the crease on the up for three runs.

17.2 Marcus Stoinis to Jordan Silk, good length ball on off-stump. Inside-edged back on to the pad off the attempted heave, no run here.

17.1 Marcus Stoinis to Jordan Silk, really full on off-stump. Drilled out of the block hole to wide long-on now for a brace.

Sydney Sixers need 14 runs in three overs. Vince is on track to etch his name into the SCG history for the Sixers and lead them to a famous Boxing Day win

16.6 Usama Mir to Jordan Silk, good length flatter one on the pads. Silk advances and clips it around to deep square-leg for a single to keep strike.

What a hundred this has been from Vince! This was a tall chase and now, he is in the center of action here. Becomes the second one from Sydney Sixers to get to three figures

16.5 Usama Mir to James Vince, HUNDRED FOR JAMES VINCE! Full and slow on off-and-middle. Clipped down to long-on off the front foot for a single. Let the applause soak in now!

16.4 Usama Mir to James Vince, short and flat on middle-and-off. Punched to the deep extra cover area off the back foot for a well-run two!
