Curran took 3-24 as Thunder made 169-9, helped by Jos Buttler’s 63, though England captain Joe Root fell for nine.
The Sixers fell to 56-6 but rallied courtesy of Curran’s quick-fire 62 – before losing by 21 runs.
The Hurricanes decided to field after winning the toss and it paid off, restricting Stars to 155-5 from their 20 overs, with the Hurricanes reaching the target with eight balls to spare.
