Tom Curran stars for Sydney Sixers in win over Brisbane Heat


Tom Curran played another starring role as the Sydney Sixers beat the Brisbane Heat by five wickets in the Big Bash League.

The England all-rounder was once again the pick of the Sixers' bowling attack with figures of three for 25 as Brisbane made 164 for seven batting first at Carrara.

Curran's victims were the Heat's three top scorers - captain Chris Lynn (84), opener Max Bryant (34) and wicketkeeper Jimmy Peirson (23).

The 23-year-old, who has enjoyed a fine tournament to date, then scored the winning runs as the Sixers reached their target with three balls remaining, the Surrey player finishing five not out.

Fellow England international Joe Denly made 11 with the bat for Sydney having earlier taken one for eight off two overs with the ball.
