Batting: Yorkshire

Over No.	Event Type	Event	Team Score
1	FOUR	O'Keefe to Gale, FOUR, that's a nice shot. Gale comes down the track and reaches out to drive wide of cover, he really timed that well	6/0
1.2	FOUR	Starc to Jaques, FOUR, low full toss and drifting down leg stump, flicked away past square leg, once it passed the man inside the ring, it was always a boundary	11/0
1.5	FOUR	Starc to Jaques, FOUR, looked like a mistimed cut shot, but the ball races away beating the chasing point fielder. That's the second boundary of the over	15/0
2	FOUR	Starc to Jaques, FOUR, the fine-leg has been brought in and what does Starc do? Bowl outside leg, easy boundary on offer and it has been glanced away by a gleeful Jaques. Starc concedes 3 boundaries in his opening over	19/0
2.4	FOUR	P Cummins to Jaques, FOUR, leg-stump half-volley with the short fine inside the ring - a cardinal sin and Jaques makes P Cummins pay by flicking it to the deep backward square fence	24/0
5.5	OUT	Hazlewood to Gale, out Bowled!! Leg-stump has gone cart-wheeling! End of a painful innings from the Yorks skip. Moved to off, showed all the three stumps, aimed to flick and missed. Hazlewood didn't. Gale b Hazlewood 8(18) [4s-1]	30/1
6.2	OUT	Starc to Jaques, out Caught by Dominic Thornely at deep-backward square!! Now Jaques goes. Tried to manufacture a pull to a short of length ball, didn't roll the wrists on it to keep it down too, went straight to the fielder. Jaques c Dominic Thornely b Starc 21(19) [4s-4]	30/2
8.2	FOUR	Starc to J Root, FOUR, slogged away. Length ball on off, swung away to the deep mid wicket fence	36/2
9.3	FOUR	Shane Watson to J Root, FOUR, now J Root breaks the shackles with a calculated risk. Chips out and clears mid off - not that well timed, but good enough for a boundary	41/2
10.4	FOUR	Henriques to J Root, FOUR, one bounce over the ropes at third man - a streaky shot to get the boundary - a wild slog outside off and the outside edge runs away to the fence	48/2
12	SIX	Shane Watson to J Root, SIX, finally J Root connects with a pull shot. Stood there and whacked it just over the ropes at deep mid wicket. The first six of the innings	59/2
12.4	OUT	Henriques to J Root, out Bowled!! Now the off-stump takes a walk. J Root too early into the pull, the ball kept a little low and crept under the bat. J Root b Henriques 25(24) [4s-3 6s-1]	62/3
13.3	FOUR	O'Keefe to Lyth, FOUR, swept from middle stump line, rolling the wrists on the shot and getting it wide of short fine inside the ring	70/3
15.5	OUT	Shane Watson to Lyth, out Caught by Rohrer!! Simple catch to point. Low full toss outside off, Lyth just sliced that head high to Rohrer. Lyth couldn't believe that he found the man and stood there for a few secs in disappointment. Lyth c Rohrer b Shane Watson 18(25) [4s-1]	78/4
16.1	OUT	P Cummins to Adil Rashid, out Caught by Haddin!! The Yorkshire side are struggling. First ball - close run-out chance, 2nd ball - gone - that is a summary of Adil Rashid's batting stint. Went for the lofted drive over cover and got a thin edge. Adil Rashid c Haddin b P Cummins 1(2)	79/5
17.4	FOUR	Shane Watson to D Hodgson, FOUR, beautiful shot. Half-volley outside off, D Hodgson opens the face of the bat and lofts aerially over cover, placed in the gap too. Much needed boundary for Yorks	88/5
17.5	OUT	Shane Watson to D Hodgson, out Caught by Steven Smith at long off!! Good change of pace, the cutter, D Hodgson was eyeing over mid wicket, but sliced it off the outer half to the man running in. D Hodgson c Steven Smith b Shane Watson 7(7) [4s-1]	88/6
18.4	OUT	P Cummins to Ballance, out Caught by Haddin!! Tiny nick and Ballance is gone. He was trying to slog it over mid wicket, but could only edge it behind. Ballance c Haddin b P Cummins 8(17)	90/7
19.2	OUT	Starc to Rafiq, out Caught by Hazlewood!! Nice catch from the tall fast bowler. Guided to third man, Hazle ran in and took it with both hands, before going to ground. Rafiq c Hazlewood b Starc 0(1)	92/8
20	OUT	Starc to Patterson, out Bowled!! Brilliant way to end the innings. Fast yorker on off, with a little bit of away shape, Patterson had no clue and the stump takes a battering. Patterson b Starc 2(3)	96/9

Batting: Sydney Sixers

Over No.	Event Type	Event	Team Score
0.3	SIX	J Root to Shane Watson, SIX, favorite area of Shane Watson and he dispatches the short ball over deep mid wicket with a pull into the grass banks	6/0
0.4	FOUR	J Root to Shane Watson, FOUR, swept over square leg and that's 10 off 2 balls for Shane Watson	10/0
1.1	OUT	Sidebottom to Shane Watson, out Caught by J Root at deep square!! Sometimes in Cricket your strength can lead to your downfall and that's exactly what has happened here. Short ball and pulled straight to the fielder who takes it over his head. Watson can't believe it, but he needed to get some more oomph into that shot to clear the man. Sidebottom strikes first ball. Shane Watson c J Root b Sidebottom 11(6) [4s-1 6s-1]
1.3	FOUR	Sidebottom to Haddin, FOUR, doesn't take long for Haddin to get his eye in. Slightly fuller outside off, smashed back over Sidebottom's head	15/1
1.4	FOUR	Sidebottom to Haddin, FOUR, crunched through the off side. Haddin getting forward and timing the square drive on the up. Sweet shot and it raced away	19/1
2	FOUR	Sidebottom to Haddin, FOUR, poor ball and put away. Just a deft glance to a ball on the pads. Short fine standing inside the ring had no chance	23/1
2.1	FOUR	Patterson to Lumb, FOUR, the boundaries continue to flow. Lumb gets forward and flicks a middle stump ball wide of mid on. Nice way to get off the mark	27/1
2.4	FOUR	Patterson to Lumb, FOUR, now Lumb chips down and goes over mid wicket, a couple of bounces and over the ropes	31/1
3.1	FOUR	Sidebottom to Haddin, FOUR, cracker of a shot! Haddin comes down the track and makes room simultaneously before blasting it over cover. That was smashed.	36/1
3.2	FOUR	Sidebottom to Haddin, FOUR, now the edges are running to the fence as well. A thickish outside edge and over slip, beating third man easily	40/1
3.4	FOUR	Sidebottom to Haddin, FOUR, Blasted! Too much width from Sidebottom, and Haddin frees his arms before hammering a drive hard into the ground and getting it past a host of fielders on the off-side cordon	46/1
4.1	FOUR	M Ashraf to Lumb, FOUR, nothing is going the way of the Yorkshire side. Good ball, on off stump, produces the inside edge which misses leg-stump and runs away to the fine leg fence	52/1
4.2	FOUR	M Ashraf to Lumb, FOUR, Lumb too wants to finish it off quickly. Chips out and gets it wide of a diving mid on. Back to back boundaries	56/1
4.3	FOUR	M Ashraf to Lumb, FOUR, that's a much better strike and a cleaner connection. Similar to the previous shot, just that he smashed it cleanly after stepping out	60/1
4.4	OTHER	M Ashraf to Lumb, 2 runs, flicked wide of long on, time for a couple	62/1
6.5	FOUR	Rafiq to Haddin, FOUR, lifted over mid off. Haddin just getting under that and clearing the man inside the ring. Very easy	77/1
7	FOUR	Rafiq to Haddin, FOUR, predictably Rafiq bowls short, Haddin rocks back and cuts into the gap at cover. The ball beats the chasing fielder easily	81/1
8	FOUR	Adil Rashid to Lumb, FOUR, way too short, Lumb had time even after jumping out to slam a cross-batted pull wide of long on. Just the 8 needed now	89/1
8.1	OUT	Rafiq to Haddin, out Caught by Lyth at deep mid wicket!! Soft dismissal. Just a pick-up shot off the legs and straight to the fielder. Haddin took it a bit easy there. Haddin c Lyth b Rafiq 41(21) [4s-8]
8.4	FOUR	Rafiq to Lumb, FOUR, slog swept into the vacant deep mid wicket area and a couple of bounces over the ropes. Just a hit away from a win	94/2
8.5	FOUR	Rafiq to Lumb, FOUR, there it is. The easiest win in the history of the competition. The winning shot - a lofted pick-up chipped shot over mid on - inside the ring. Sydney look terrifyingly dominant.	98/2
