Nothing silly from Kurtis Patterson but he is keeping the scoreboard ticking along nicely. A handy six into the leg side gets his strike rate close to 140.
He and Silk are pretty similar players and will go about their business in cautious but crafty fashion here. These two have now put on 62 in 46 balls.
Silk tries to blast a cover drive and the bat comes completely out of his hand. Don’t see that often. A little funny.
Crowd tonight is 13,132. A little down on projections. Time for a debate on whether Hobart should host a final if they win tonight? Would easily get 30,000 at a different venue in Australia.
Sixers 3-67, require 107 from 60 balls (Patterson 36 from 27 balls, Silk 28 from 23 balls)
