Later, skipper Moises Henriques played a vital 49-run knock off 35 deliveries, including 4 fours and 1 six on his comeback. He got out on the last over of the innings but ensured that he take the team to a decent total on the board.

In pursuit of the total, Melbourne Renegades were bundled out for just 105 runs. They got off to the worst possible start as both the openers, Aaron Finch (3 off 4) and Jake Fraser (6 off 4) got out inside the first two overs.
Shaun Marsh was the only batsman who tried to stay there and take the team as close to the target as possible. He made 39 runs off 36 deliveries. However, once he got out in the 13th over, wickets fell in a cluster and Renegades got out of the contest in no time. Ben Dwarshuis, once again, was the man for Sixers who did most of the damage with the ball. He picked as many as 5 wickets for just 26 runs in his four overs, which is also the best bowling figure for the bowler. Sean Abbott, on the other hand, picked 2 wickets for 18 runs in 3 overs.
