Sydney Sixers reach BBL decider

The Sydney Sixers are into the Big Bash League final but captain Moises Henriques isn't game to pick which side they will meet in the decider.

Sydney Sixers captain Moises Henriques has no idea who his outfit will meet in the Big Bash League final.

The Sixers secured their spot in Wednesday's play-off with an 87-run trouncing of the Adelaide Strikers on Saturday night.

Sydney will meet the winner of Sunday night's semi-final between the Perth Scorchers and Melbourne Stars - and Henriques can't pick a winner.

"They're both very strong teams. I have no idea - I can't pick one to be honest," he said.

Sydney's crushed Adelaide, who topped the ladder after the preliminary rounds.

The Sixers, with Nic Maddinson smashing 85 from 46 balls, posted 4-181 and then bowled out Adelaide for just 94.

"Another win is fantastic," Henriques said.

"We had a down little period in the middle (of the tournament) but, from nine games, we're six (wins) and three (losses) with a super-over loss in there, so we're not too bad.

"We haven't played as well as I would like to see us play, but we have got just as many wins as the other teams at this stage.

"We're still competing well and staying in the contest."

Sydney's victory also extends the career of celebrated paceman Brett Lee by another game.

And Henriques said Lee, who had announced he would retire at the end of the tournament, would be crucial for the Sixers in the decider.

"We can't get too ahead of ourselves," Henriques said.

"And that is the good thing having guys like Binga (Lee) around. He is just so relaxing and so calming which is really good for our young players."
