In the 18th match of the ongoing Big Bash League (BBL) 2020-21, Sydney Sixers defeated Melbourne Renegades in the last over thriꦰller by 2 wickets at Carrara Oval ✤in Queensland.
Chasing a challenging target of 169, Sixers had a decent start after Josh Philippe (48), and Jack Edwards (21) put together 53 runs for the opening wicket. Edwards was removed by Peter Hatzoglou in the 7th over, but Phili🥂ppe kept on tick💛ling the scoreboard.
Before the Sixers’ wicketkeeper-batsman could reach fifty, he was outdone by Renegades spinner Imad Wasim. After Philippe’s dismissal, Sixers lost a few more wickets in quick succession.
Then Jordan Silk (31) and Jason Holder stepped up to help their team. While Silk got dismissed in the 18th over, Holder held his end firmly as the game went to the wire where the Caribbean superstar took his sᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚide over the finish line. Holder scored a quickfire 18-ball 33 runs inning laced up with three fours and two sixes.

Imad Wasim, first ball duck and now drops a relatively easy catch, after 0/35 and 3 runs the other night….not the best of starts…

Amꦰazingly high ball catch by Ben Dwarshuis to dismiss Mohammad Nabi of🏅f Carlos Brathwaite. Based on my stopwatch, the ball was in the air for 6.53 seconds. Max height approx 52m.
