Sydney Sixers see off Hobart Hurricanes in Big Bash League

Sydney Sixers win their second consecutive match in the Big Bash League with a seven-wicket victory away to the Hobart Hurricanes.

Sydney Sixers have made it two wins from two in the Big Bash League thanks to a seven-wicket victory away to the Hobart Hurricanes.

With the teams reduced to 19 overs each due to a wet outfield, the Hurricanes made 154-8 before Sydney hit 158-3 with five balls remaining.

George Bailey (71) stood out with the bat for Hobart, while Ben Dunk (23) and Tim Paine (36) also made solid scores at the crease.

However, disappointing knocks from Alex Hales (1), Jonathan Wells (3) and Darren Sammy (2) damaged the home side's chances of getting close to the 200-run mark.

Brett Lee finished with three wickets for Sydney, who also had Moises Henriques, Doug Bollinger and Luke Doran enjoy some success with the ball.

Michael Lumb (44), Nic Maddinson (29) and Riki Wessels (22) got the Sixers off to a positive start when it was their turn out in the middle, before Henriques (29 not out) and Jordan Silk (31 not out) wrapped up the victory for the visitors in the final over.

Joe Mennie, Xavier Doherty and Cameron Boyce shared the wickets between them for Hobart, who suffered their first defeat of the campaign.
