Get Ball by Ball Commentary of Perth Scorchers vs Adelaide Strikers, Big Bash League 2017, 38th Match

7.44pm So the Scorchers bid farewell to the legendary WACA ground with a win. Fireworks shoot up to light up the clear, cloudless night sky. This ground has seen its share of indelible cricket moments over the years, and nothing short of a win for the home team would have made for a fitting goodbye. Scorchers also make sure that they end the group stage of this BBL as the top team. But they really had to grind it out and earn this win. Rashid Khan almost took the game away from them with his brilliant spell, but that partnership between Cameron Bancroft and Adam Voges made all the difference in the end. Voges with a captain's knock as the WACA faithful return home for one final time a happy lot.That's all we have for you from this top-of-the-table clash. We hope you enjoyed our coverage of this game. It's been a pleasure, as always!
