Scorecard Summary

SYDNEY SIXERS 158/3 (18.5 OVERS)

- Ben Edmondson2/30 (3.5)
- Brad Hogg1/29 (4)
At the innings break, I said that Lee would be the man of the match if Sixers won. Henriques proved me wrong by playing a superb knock under pressure. He went about the chase, clinically, in the company of O'Keefe. It was his batting that allowed O'Keefe to get some hitting form
It all got wrong for the Scorchers at the wrong time. Gibbs getting out of the first ball, Hogg having an off day . Even though Marsh tried to get his team back into the match with his 77, the bowlers were knocked off their lines by Henriques' onslaught
Henriques, predictably gets the Man of the Match award and David Hussey is the player of the tournament
It has been a pleasure bringing to you, the coverage for the entire span of the tournament and on that note, good night from all of us here at ESPNcricinfo
