Perth Scorchers win by 35 runs with a superb display in the field and are locked into finals, but need to beat Sydney Sixers to secure second place. It was a tricky pitch. Nick Hobson played great little innings to get Scorchers to a healthy total, then they were excellent with the ball and in the field. Was this performance a window into Brisbane Heat's finals challenge with the players they a losing? At least the replacements got some time in the middle. I'll do a quick wrap up for this one as attention turns to Marvel Stadium for the Melbourne derby, and the farewell of Aaron Finch. From Gnasher and Alex, thanks for joining us for this one.

W
Tye to Kuhnemann, OUT

it's all over! Four for Tye. Another short ball, it's swatted to mid-on. Done and dusted

Matthew Kuhnemann c Whiteman b Tye 0 (1b 0x4 0x6 1m) SR: 0
19.4
W
Tye to Swepson, OUT

short of a length, high into the leg side, Agar settles under it at deep square leg. Tye has been brilliant today

Mitchell Swepson c Agar b Tye 4 (3b 1x4 0x6 2m) SR: 133.33

W
Tye to Bartlett, OUT

full at the stumps, heaved into the deep and nicely taken at deep midwicket

Xavier Bartlett c Hobson b Tye 3 (7b 0x4 0x6 16m) SR: 42.85

35 needed off the last. Think Scorchers are safe. Appears Heat may have been penalised for a deliberate short run

18.6
Hardie to Johnson, no run

gets cramped by a short ball, swatted down to fine leg without knowing much about. Again, there's a lot of running for a dot ball

18.5
Hardie to Johnson, no run

swings and misses outside off

18.4
W
Hardie to Bryant, OUT

full, straight and given! Bryant misses his flick at what was basically a yorker. Calls the review because they have one left. Base of middle stump.

17.6
Behrendorff to Bartlett, no run

full at the stumps, swung down to long on...they actually turn down the run...Bartlett basically ran two! He had reached the non-striker's end

17.5
Behrendorff to Bartlett, no run

a bouncer, over middle and off, bets the top and there's an appeal for caught behind...not reviewed in the end. Dot ball almost as good as a wicket

17.4
Behrendorff to Bartlett, no run

keeps it short of a length, cramps him for room, only ends up back at the bowler

17.3

Behrendorff to Bryant, 1 run

short outside leg stump, pulled to short fine leg

well, well, back-to-back sixes, slog-sweeps over deep midwicket this time. A twist?
