Player Of The Match
  • 19.6

    Jerrssis Wadia to Joel Paris. Quicker length ball, off stump on the front foot Slog, mis-timed to deep mid wicket for 2 runs, fielded by Overton. That's the end of the first innings, and the Perth Scorchers have posted a decent total on the board. Openers Mitchell Marsh and Sam Fanning gave them a solid start, putting on a 72-run partnership. Marsh scored 37, while Fanning contributed 31. After their dismissals, the Scorchers lost wickets at regular intervals, which slowed their momentum. However, Ashton Turner played a fine cameo, scoring 28 runs off just 14 balls to boost the run rate through a difficult period, before Joel Paris boosted the total late in the innings finishing not out on 20. On the other hand, Lloyd Pope was outstanding, picking up four wickets, while Tabraiz Shamsi provided good support with three scalps. The run chase is coming up shortly.
