Smith walked straight down the wicket, visibly irritated, before pointing towards the crowd who waved back in response.
The Australian was able to compose himself to score 54 runs from 40 balls for the Sixers before he was bowled out with five overs remaining.

Jack Edwards and England’s Sam Curran finished off the game as Sixers won by five wickets to progress to Tuesday qualifier, where they will face Perth Scorchers, live on Sky Sports.
This win comes after Smith was involved with more drama on Friday when he knocked back a run from Babar Azam, so that he would be able to take strike during the Power Surge.
After the incident, Azam hit the boundary rope showing his frustration.
However, Smith explained ahead of Sunday’s game that the two are on good terms, complimenting Azam’s batting.
“Nah he’s good, we were chatting before. I thought he batted really nice the other night,” Smith said.
“We had a good partnership, put on a few. We were chatting about our golf before. He’s looking forward to tonight, hopefully we get off to a good start again.”
