Melbourne Stars vs Sydney Sixers, 32nd Match, January 21, 2017 - Full Commentary

Boland to Ben Dwarshuis, FOUR, Sixers are through to the semi-final, they join Scorchers, Heat and Stars in the final four. On a good length and angling across the left-hander, Dwarshuis threw his bat at that, gets a thick edge that rolls away to the third man fence. For the record, Renegades have been knocked out

Boland to J Botha, out Caught&Bowled!! Botha falls, but there's no celebrations in the Stars camp. They know the match is over. An excellent reflex catch from Boland, he has had a tough time with the ball - but has something to cheer. This was a low full-toss, Botha was looking to flick, closed the bat face and spooned the ball back towards the bowler. Boland was on his follow-through, sticks his right hand and holds on.
