What a dramatic finish we've seen here tonight! James Faulkner bowls a front foot no ball - which I believe would have been a no ball for having only three in the circle - to concede the game after a topsy-turvy, rain affected night.

The Scorchers players and home crowd go nuts as the Scorchers go through to the Big Bash Final, to be hosted here in Perth on Saturday against the Heat.

The Stars had their chances too. Bird dropped a catch off the first ball of that final over to allow two runs, Handscomb missed a runout and Faulkner bowled a no ball - and that was just in the final over. Questions have to be asked as to why Shane Warne did not bowl while Alex Keath was smashed for 27 in his only over.

The rain certainly helped the Scorchers as the target was reduced - as were the overs - but full credit to the Scorchers, and particularly Shaun Marsh, who smashed their way to victory off the final ball of the match

That was just an incredible semi-final between two worthy semi-finalists and the sell-out, record crowd got their moneys worth with a thrilling final ball finish.

The Stars actually thought they'd won the match off the final ball, but it was called a no ball and it essentially gifted the win to the Scorchers.

Shaun Marsh has been named Man of the Match for his blistering 68 off just 40 balls. He's the leading run-scorer in the comp and he'll go head-to-head with former team-mate and second highest run-scorer Luke Pomersbach in the final on Saturday night.

Join us then, but for now, from me, Andrew Fuss, good night.

Faulkner to Voges, 2 no balls, drama as he bowls a front foot no ball and they run through to the keeper, incredible

The super over is well and truly a chance now, three of one is the occasion, wowee!

Faulkner to Hussey, 1 leg bye, slower ball off the pads and through to the keeper, had he left it, it would have been a wide

Faulkner to Hussey, 2 runs, slower ball pulled to deep square leg, Handscomb misses the take, Hussey would have been short of his ground

You can feel the tension around the stadium, a spot in the final and the Champions League up for grabs.
