Sydney Sixers Secure Second Win of Season Against Hobart Hurricanes

Sydney Sixers' Ellyse Perry starred with a powerful 86 off 62 balls as her team defeated Hobart Hurricanes by six runs to secure their second win of the season.

Perry's Dominant Knock

Perry, who formed the opening partnership with Alyssa Healy's replacement, led the show with her gritty 86. She shared useful partnerships with Ashleigh Gardner (21) and Hollie Armitage (30) to guide Sixers to a strong total of 155/7.

Hurricanes' Collapse

Hobart Hurricanes, put in to chase, lost early wickets with Alyssa Healy and Sarah Bryce going for just 3 runs. Danni Wyatt-Hodge's 30-ball 30 helped Hurricanes reach 36/1 but the team's batting order collapsed quickly after that.

• Caoimhe Bray removed Nicola Carey in the following over.
• Sophie Ecclestone handed Graham a four-ball duck as Hurricanes slipped to 62/4.
