1.5 to MR Marsh, taken at backward point! Huge wicket. Full and wide outside off, Marsh reaches out for a drive, can't keep it down. Very neat catch from Shaw diving to his right. 9/1
12.3 to AM Hardie, given caught behind! Hardie reviews but doesn't look confident. Good short ball, offcutter bouncer, Hardie half ducks and half pulls, getting in an awful tangle, Philippe dives forward to take and immediately appeals. Ultraedge shows a spike as the ball passes the bat. Hardie is out and Scorchers lose the review!. 87/5
402325.75152100
7.4 to FH Allen, dragged on! Massive moment. Short of a length, Allen goes for the pull and gets a bottom edge into the stumps. 67/2
14.1 to LJ Evans, skied straight up and Edwards holds on! Back of a length on off, he steps across to try and whip over square leg, gets a top edge that flies straight up and Edwards settles under it and takes the catch at square leg. 101/6
2020110.0040210
9.2 to JP Inglis, taken at long-off! Very nicely bowled. Inglis comes out of the crease, he's not to the pitch, slices the lofted drive and it's a simple catch for Smith. 69/3
402526.25122120
19.3 to JA Richardson, bowled him! Excellent slower yorker goes straight through him. Offspinning slower ball, it dips on him as he tries to whip across the line and it goes under the bat and crashes into middle. 145/7
19.5 to AJ Turner, spooned straight up! Short slower ball wide of off, he reaches out and toes it straight up in the air, Edwards settles under it and takes the catch. 146/8
201618.0053000
11.2 to C Connolly, cut straight to Babar at backward point! Width offered, not that short, he tries to cut and slices it to backward point and Babar takes a sharp chance diving to his left. 80/4

0.2 to Babar Azam, appeal for a stumping...and gone! The back foot did drag. Spun nicely past the outside edge as Babar drives. Quick work from Inglis...and the foot is in the air when the stumps light up. What a tournament Connolly is having with the ball. 0/1
9.3 to J Edwards, cleaned up! Edwards gives himself a touch of room to ball on the stumps, goes for a drive and plays around it. Connolly does it again. 64/5
302016.6683000
14.6 to BJ Dwarshuis, top edge straight up and Inglis pouches it! Scorchers are into the final! Bouncer over middle, he tries to pull and gets a top edge, it flies towards short fine leg, Inglis gets under it and takes the catch to ignite a huge roar from the home fans. 99/10
301324.33110100
8.4 to L Shaw, spooned to mid-off! It wasn't costly. Goes for a drive, pace off, not quite there for the stroke and just pops a simple catch to Turner. 63/4
13.4 to J Davies, bowled him! Payne outsmarts him! Davies goes across his stumps, well outside off, to lap sweep over short fine but he went too far, Payne delivers straight at off and hits!. 90/8
302036.6671000
3.1 to JR Philippe, top edge, strikes first ball! Short of a length, good pace, Phillipe goes for the pull and skies it straight up in the air. 21/2
3.6 to MC Henriques, taken at midwicket! Beardman on fire. Short of a length, Henriques the next batter to fall trying to pull. Top edges it straight up in the air on the side. Beardman is pumped. 23/3
10.5 to SPD Smith, holes out to fine leg! Beardman knocks over Smith! 139kph, bouncer, at the head, Smith is hurried trying to hook up and over fine leg, trying to use the pace, he miscues off the sticker of the bat, taking one hand off, it flies close to the rope but not over it, Payne stands still a metre inside and takes the catch!. 74/6

201115.5041000
12.2 to BAD Manenti, chopped on! Good length, wide of off, he tries to square drive minimal footwork with a 45-degree angled bat, gets a thick inside edge and drags it onto leg stump. 86/7
