NEW DELHI: The pacers produced the fine bowling display to help Sydney Sixers restrict Highveld Lions to 137/9 in their Champions League Twenty20 match at Newlands in Cape Town.

Scorecard

Sydney's pace battery shared eight wickets between them as Mitchell Starc led the chart with three wickets while Josh Hazlewood, Shane Watson took two wickets apiece and Moises Henriques claimed one.

For Highveld Lions, Gulam Bodi led from the front as he notched up a 32-ball fifty. He made 61 off 44 to guide Lions to challenging total.

Bodi held the one end for Lions as wickets kept falling from the other end. Sydney pacers produced a clinical display of bowling as they reduced Lions to 91/4 in 13.3 overs.

Highveld Lions suffered the second blow in the form of Quinton de Kock. Shane Watson dismissed De Kock who contributed only four runs in the 32 runs second wicket stand with Gulam Bodi.

Sydney Sixers' Josh Hazlewood struck to dismiss Alviro Petersen after Highveld Lions posted 25 runs in 2 overs.

Gulam Bodi gave Lions blistering start after Sydney Sixers' skipper Brad Haddin won the toss and decided to field. Bodi hammered two fours and a six in the first two overs to give Lions early momentum.

Both teams have been undefeated in the tournament so far, with Sixers beating Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in their first match and making light work of the Yorkshire in their second outing to lead the points table on better net run rate.

Lions, on the other hand, did not have to break a sweat against Mumbai Indians (MI) and looked at ease against the CSK on Tuesday, as they overcame a challenging 158-run target with six wickets to spare.

Teams:

Sydney Sixers: Michael Lumb, Shane Watson, Brad Haddin (Capt.), Dominic Thornely, Nic Maddinson, Steven Smith, Moises Henriques, Steve O'Keefe, Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood.

Highveld Lions: Gulam Bodi, Alviro Petersen (Capt.), Quinton de Kock, Neil McKenzie, Jean Symes, Thami Tsolekile, Zander de Bruyn, Chris Morris, Sohail Tanvir, Aaron Phangiso, Dirk Nannes.
