Chasing 127, Openers Josh Philippe and James Vince gave a solid start for the Sixers as the side scored 53 runs in just 7 overs. Vince smashed a half-century as the duo put on 75 runs for the first wicket stand. However, Ben Laughin dismissed Vince (51) in the tenth over. Steven Smith then joined Philippe but his stay was brief as he was dismissed by James Pattinson on nine runs. Philippe also brought up his fifty in the match and remained not out on 52 as Sixer secured a comfortable eight-wicket victory over Heat. (Courtesy: ANI)
