Winning the toss and electing to bat first, the Sixers opened briskly through http://www.senore.com/Cricket/James-Faulkner-c1643’s second over.
This attacking nature prompted Cameron White, the Star’s skipper, to bring in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/CJ-McKay-c1265 into the attack and the pacer duly obliged with the wicket of Lumb. The opener first clobbered the bowler handsomely for the first six of the day but his aggressive nature failed to detect a slower delivery as an uppish shot went straight point fielder, Robert Quiney.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Shane-Keith-Warne-c89672 was brought into the attack but the leg spinner was greeted with a majestic six by Bravo.

The 100-run barrier was crossed soon after and with that, Bravo reached his half-century with a long-on heave off Warne. The veteran spinner though managed to halt the opponents charge as he picked up the dangerous West Indian, who was holed out at the long on fence.
The Sixers are currently 119 for 6 and despite having a solid start; the loss of crucial wickets has allowed the game to tilt in favour of the Stars, as they look to put the brakes on the scoring rate.
