Victorians' decision to field first paid off as the Sixers were bowled out for just 68 in 14.5 overs. Only one batsman managed to score in double figures. Veteran Bangladesh batsman Alok Kapali made 33 off 31 with four boundaries and one six to his name. Bangladesh spinner Mahedi Hasan proved to be the wrecker-in-chief with his figures of 4-22 in four overs while Pakistan fast bowler Wahab Riaz bagged three wickets as well.
