9.30 pm Scorchers win their sixth-straight game at the WACA, while they complete their sixth-straight win over the Hurricanes as well. They move to the top of the table while the Hurricanes stay on third. That's all from us from today's double-header Saturday. Hope you enjoyed ESPNcricinfo's coverage of the BBL. For now, it's good bye!

Chirag Gupta: "Feeling bad for Christian, bowled good yorkers throughout the over except the last 2 bowls which he just missed by fine margins and Turner took full advantage of those little margins!"

Rags: "Ash Turner closes it out. Surprising Aussies chose White and not Turner for the ODI team...."

9.27 pm Ashton Turner: "Was very nervous during the chase. This was the first game in our pursuit to the final, so we're happy. Everyone is doing well for us. Doesn't matter what the name on the back of your shirt is, everyone's batting for the name in the front."
