Overview
- Sydney Sixers beat Melbourne Stars by six wickets, reaching 129/4 in 17.1 overs after restricting the hosts to 128.
- Marcus Stoinis trapped Babar Azam lbw at 48/2 in the 7th over, with the batter falling for 14 off 17 after declining a review.
- Stump mic captured Stoinis saying, “See you later, Babar. See you later, brother,” as he delivered an animated send-off.
- Ball-tracking indicated the delivery would have clipped leg stump, effectively validating the on-field lbw call.
- Ben Dwarshuis led the Sixers’ bowling with 4/13, while Babar’s mixed BBL season stands at 145 runs in seven innings as the Sixers notch a third straight win and the Stars slide to a third straight loss.
