BBL 12: Cricket fraternity applauds Steve Smith after his consecutive centuries for Sydney Sixers, hits 125* vs Thunder

Smith had hit 101 against Adelaide Strikers in Sixers' previous match.

Steve Smith was the toast of the Sydney derby in the ongoing BBL 12 as the Sixers clashed against Thunder at the SCG on January 21, 2023. Sixers captain Moises Henriques won the toss and chose to bat first.

Though Gurinder Sandhu removed Josh Phillippe for 10 runs, Steve Smith, who had scored 101 against Adelaide Strikers 5 days ago, continued his golden run of form as he smashed 125* in 66 balls with 5 fours and 9 sixes.

He also added a 155*-run partnership for the 3^rd wicket with Henriques who made 45* in 36 balls as Sixers made 187/2 in 20 overs.
