The Sixes side didn’t let the Renegades off the hook as they dominated the game right from ball one.
Ellyse Perry was the player of the night with 81 runs with the bat and also taking two key wickets. Sydney Sixers will want to continue in the same vein of form when they take on Adelaide Strikers on Tuesday.
Sixers till now have won the title twice in 2016 and 2017 and also finished runners-up twice in 2018 and 2022. The form of some of the key stars will play a key role when they take on the defending champions at the North Sound Oval.
