- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.4 see you later! That's not me. That's Maxwell screaming in joy at Bancroft, as he is run out by a fair distance! Tries to pinch a single after tapping to mid on, but the throw from the fielder is like a tracer bullet! Hits the base of the stumps, O'Connell 27/111.6 mowed to the fielder in the deep! Rauf gives out a big roar. Length ball on off. Patterson tries to cream a pull to deep midwicket. But he plays it squarer than he would've liked. Down to deep square leg. 116/48.6 holes out! Against the run of play. Munro can't believe he's found the fielder at deep square leg. Full toss, almost waist high, Munro goes for the glory shot, but the bat turned in his hand 95/29.6 trapped! Stifled appeal, but the umpire is convinced. Evans caught on the crease and a combination of that with a low bounce gets him out. Length ball outside off but angling in. Hits the front pad. And probably hitting middle. Did that hit bat first though? Evans not happy but no replays yet to confirm or deny that statement. 103/317.6 Turner, unlucky! Low full toss, just outside off. Agar smacks it straight down, but Couch bends to stop the ball. Ends up getting a finger, and the ball has ricocheted onto the stumps! Turner is outside his crease, and Oxenford raises his finger after asking Couch if he touched it! Very trusting umpire, we love to see! That didn't even go up to the TV umpire, Oxenford took Couch's word as gospel. 164/614.1 googly, and bowled! Full on middle. Hardie walks across to sweep, but Qais is too skillful. Leg-stump knocked back. Interestingly the celebration is socially distanced. Everyone standing far away and chit-chatting among the Stars 129/518.3 full toss on middle stump. Agar tries to clear long off but he splices the shot. Holes out well inside the boundary. Scorchers tumbling... 165/719.6 bowled! Yorker to end the innings, and the lights go off!

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR8.3 holes out to long off! Easy catch for Evans. An off cutter slower ball wide of off, Clarke backed away to loft with the wind over long off but sliced it and it carried to the man 5 metres in from the rope 78/19.5 falls to the reverse sweep! Full on leg stump. Struck well, in fact too well.... taken at conventional point! A tricky catch, ball dipping, taken low but with his fingers wrapped under the ball. A warm applause for Rogers 86/211.5 done in by the google! Maxwell not happy with the result, was tempted to whack the stumps with his bat. Full just outside off. Maxwell gets low and tries the slog sweep. Ball whizzes in, and it goes through the bat-body gap! 95/316.5 full on off. He tries to get low and ramp one over short fine leg. But the cutter induces a top edge. Mills at short fine leg does the rest. 122/614.5 is that out? Ball in the air, and Evans takes a reverse-cup catch. Full ball on middle. Cartwright wants to smack it leg side but a bit of movement/wobble in the air, and that induces the false shot. Ball goes high, and Evans from mid off does the rest. 111/415.2 slower ball, and that will earn Tye a wicket. Full on leg stump. O'Connell tries to send it over long on but he is through the shot too early. High in the air, but mid on - Hardie - takes it rather comfortably 115/517.4 taken at long on! Avendano tries to smack this wide ball, but drags it to long on. Tricky catch, but the fielder had his dancing shoes on as he avoids the boundary line while completing the catch 129/718.2 back of a length slower ball just outside leg stump. Tries to pull, but gloved. On the bounce to the keeper. But Qais has taken off to steal a run, however Crone has not seen him. Both are at the batter's end, and the keeper rolls the ball to Mills. Mills whips the bails off, and Crone is gone 130/818.3 that's two in two. Good length on leg, and Qais goes for the glory shot with not much to lose. Decent hit, but not enough to clear the man on the boundary line at wide long on 130/918.5 And that's that - trapped lbw and Perth Scorchers have won by 50 runs. Good length on off. Angling in slightly. Misses the flick, and hits the front leg. 130/10Extras2 (w 2)TOTAL130 all out (18.5 Overs, RR: 6.9)Fall of wickets: 1-78 (Joe Clarke, 8.3 ov), 2-86 (Thomas Rogers, 9.5 ov), 3-95 (Glenn Maxwell, 11.5 ov), 4-111 (Hilton Cartwright, 14.5 ov), 5-115 (Tom O'Connell, 15.2 ov), 6-122 (Charlie Wakim, 16.5 ov), 7-129 (Justin Avendano, 17.4 ov), 8-130 (Xavier A Crone, 18.2 ov), 9-130 (Qais Ahmad, 18.3 ov), 10-130 (Brody Couch, 18.5 ov)
