Adelaide Strikers vs Sydney Sixers, 2nd Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

So, after a nail-biting first game we had a one-sided affair in the second. What does the third game hold? Join us tomorrow to find out. Until then, goodbye and stay safe..

Matthew Short | Player of the Match - The key message was to have fun, having given good starts during the last season helped us. It's nice to get a win on the board early, we wanted to get a good start in the batting PP and that helped us settle later on. (on Chris Lynn) He brings massive leadership to the group, not just with the bat, hopeful of spending more time in the middle with him. It was a complete performance in the end, we were good in all three facets of the game

21:55 Local Time, 11:25 GMT, 16:55 IST: Big win for the Adelaide Strikers. The chase never really got going for the Sydney Sixers. Thornton struck twice in his first over and put a huge dent. Philippe and Henriques struggled with their timing and ate up a lot of balls. Most of the Sixers' batter were not able to find the sweet spot of the bat and Jordan Silk was the top scorer with 36. Rashid and Thornton shared the 7 wickets to fall but were well supported by the rest of the bowlers. Not the start Sydney Sixers would have wanted but they were the runners up last time and will fight back.
