As it happened: In a rain-affected match, Sydney Sixers defeated Melbourne Stars by 21 runs in the ongoing Big Bash League after the Duckworth-Lewis method came into play. The match was reduced to a 14-over a side game after rain played a spoilsport.

However, Sixers struck as Ben Dwarshuis dismissed Cartwright in the fourth over, reducing the side to 35/1. Sydney sixers made 143 runs in 14 overs but the target was revised to 147. Marcus Stoinis and Glenn Maxwell took the Stars’ score past 100 run mark. In the 12th over Melbourne Stars suffered a big blow as Tom Curran dismissed well-settled Stoinis (62). Nick Larkin arrived at the crease, as Stars needed 38 runs in the last 14 balls.
