Steve Smith, who had been out of form, scored 32 from 22 after a quickfire start from Warner who scored 30 from 15
AB de Villiers scored 41 from 20 which took them close to target and the Sixers looked like that they will reach it easily. But after de Villiers got out, it were some important runs contributed by Botha and Johnson which led them to victory and they qualified for play-offs
Sydney Sixers wins by 3 wickets
And so the game draws to a tame conclusion with Sydney Sixers claiming an impressive victory by 3 wickets. A solid, if unspectacular performance there by Sydney Sixers and they will no doubt want to build on the foundation laid today. The bowlers were probably licking their lips when they saw the pitch today - the pitch was very sporting, to say the least. All of the disciplines benefited greatly throughout the day. These two teams were fairly evenly matched so it was tough to predict the outcome. That being said Sydney Sixers proved to be the stronger in the end and snatched victory.

Shaun Marsh started the innings on a good note scoring 31 from 23
Mitchell Marsh also looked in aggressive form as he scored 52 from 34. But he got out at a crucial time and the Scorchers fell short by just 7 runs
Melbourne Renegades wins by 7 runs
What a finish! A nail-biter to the very end. Well played to both teams, but in the end, there can be only one winner. Melbourne Renegades will breathe a sigh of relief after today's match and will be hoping to be more authoritative in the next one. The bowlers were probably licking their lips when they saw the pitch today - the pitch was very sporting, to say the least. All of the disciplines benefited greatly throughout the day. These two teams were fairly evenly matched so it was tough to predict the outcome. That being said Melbourne Renegades proved to be the stronger in the end and snatched victory.
Martin Guptill looked in good touch scoring 73 from just 47
Later Quiney's 25 and Andre Russell's quickfire 22 from 7 brought up an easy victory for the Thunder who now easily look like finishing first in the table
Sydney Thunder wins by 6 wickets
That's the end of the game and Sydney Thunder wrap up a massive victory winning by 6 wickets. Brisbane Heat was never in the game but that is more down to Sydney Thunder's excellent performance than it was the former's poor effort. The bowlers were probably licking their lips when they saw the pitch today - the pitch was very sporting, to say the least. All of the disciplines benefited greatly throughout the day.
