Boxing Day cricket eh. It's gone on for over 14 hours. Has been a great day for the country overall. No shortages in the festive season. On that note, it's goodnight from me, Ekanth, and our scorer, Sudeep.
Nick Hobson, POTM: Guys set a platform. Sometimes you get stuck at the start in Perth. I got a roll-on and took it. It's a fickle role, finishing, today it came off but doesn't always happen. Crowd was awesome, we were joking how loud it was last over of our innings. We put a lot of importance on our fielding, Agar set the crowd alight with a run out.
9:43pm: Easy enough in the end for Scorchers. The final over with the bat got them over 160. With the ball, they got three powerplay wickets. A couple of run outs helped too. Just two starts - Renshaw and Bryant. - for Heat. Behrendorff, Kelly, and Tye got two-fors. Agar was good too, both with ball and in the field. A couple of early losses, which is rare for Scorchers, has been put behind for now. Heat's death bowling and top order were issues today, running too. They'll hope to turn that around.
SH Johnson b Tye 6 (23m 11b 1x4 0x6) SR: 54.54
The physio had a chat and all are good to go
Final over, think there's an over-rate penalty. But 38 off 6 means it's just formalities
