Scorchers vs Sixers, 39th Match at Perth, BBL 2023, Jan 16 2024 - Match Result

Carved over short third, Moises has done it! Sixers will meet Heat at the Carrara. Cheers among the dugout, silence in the crowd. Sixers have come to Scorchers' den and drowned them out with a roar of their own! Lot of fielders in the ring on the off side, Hardie went into the pitch. Henriques made room and slashed, top edge took it over the infield

Two stolen, scores level! Throw came at the non-striker's end but it was Henriques who was struggling. Full-length dive from Abbott. Hardie, who was pointing to the keeper, had to take the throw and dislodge the bails. Abbott's made it! Henriques was tired and had a long way to go but got lucky. Was a wide shortish ball that was slapped to deep cover

Holy Moises, he's pulled it over backward square to mute the crowd! Back of length, hip-height, Henriques stood tall and pulled with a swivel. Flat as a tack to bring it down to 3 off 2.

The lowest of full tosses on middle is whipped to the right of long-on, Henriques did brilliantly to give it a bit of elevation. The batters have to get back, the throw is wide of the keeper, who tries to reach back and dislodge the bails but the back-and-forth motion allows time to complete two. Henriques is cooked.

Low fully on off, driven to long-off

Inglis underarms it to the stumps, Sixers crumbling now! Fullish ball just inside the off-side tramline, seemed slow, Dwarshuis swung and missed but trodded forward probably looking for a run but got stuck in no man's land. Inglis doing the rest easily.

Wide yorker is too wide. Sixers have an extra

Kerr goes for a third that never existed, Behrendorff picks up the throw on the bounce and takes off the stumps with the batter not in the frame. Was a fullish wide ball that was slapped over the infield. Three fielders chased it and one stopped it. Not sure why the batters went for the third cos Henriques would've been on strike if they had too.

Dot, crowd are lovin it. Behrendorff runs back. Kerr had some width and tried to slash it away, hit into the pitch back to the bowler

Length over off, pulls it to the left of deep square, who has to run to midwicket. Two taken

Hat-trick ball almost produces a run out!

Another high ball, this time it's an easy catch to Tye. You just can't write off Scorchers, can ya? Shortish ball into the pitch, Edwards goes leg side and tries to pull it first ball but top edged it. Tye walks back and takes it fingers pointing up. Behrendorff now on a hat trick!

Top edge, big ol skier, Inglis runs back and might've taken the catch of the tournament! He ran back from inside the ring deep into the outfield, kept his eyes on the ball and timed his dive well to take it in the air. Was a length ball at the stumps that Silk tried to whip across the line.

Brilliant direct hit from the keeper, is that a run out? Henriques slid his bat through and just cleared the crease. Sigh from the crowd, third umpire calls it not out.

Dances down early and Agar loops it on a shortish length. Gets the underedge off the cut but Sixers will take a single to the off side

Silk dances down and Agar goes very wide... and full. Silk manages to reach out and slap it to cover

Fullish ball on middle, driven to long-off

Chops the length ball to point for a run that was as quick as it was tight

Lcky four for Silk through third. He danced down and tried to flay it over cover, got a thick edge and it raced through the vacant first-slip region.

Helped over fine leg, Henriques turning the heat on Scorchers! Tye went into the pitch at the body, 134ks, the batter got steady and pulled it far.
