that's the win! as Bancroft steps away to leg and carves this over the off side. A wonderful innings from Bancroft. He's been through a lot, but that was a gem of an innings
Sixers vs Scorchers, 30th Match at Perth, BBL, Jan 13 2019 - Ball by Ball Commentary
Scorchers won by 7 wickets (with 7 balls remaining)
Perth Scorchers win by seven wickets with a chase of outstanding class. Cameron Bancroft makes a career-best and Ashton Turner's innings was superb - he dominated a stand of 98 in 10 overs while Bancroft was the glue to the innings. Further evidence of why Turner was called up by Australia. That's two wins in two now for Scorchers. Is it the start of a run? The Sixers will be disappointed by their bowling display after a solid batting display. That ends a long day of BBL action. We hope you've enjoyed it and we'll be back tomorrow evening for more. Until then from Andrew McGlashan it's goodbye
and this time he goes in the air over point, almost straight to the sweeper but Bancroft is quick enough to get back. Throw was also off target
once again moves outside leg then times this brilliantly through the off side, wasn't a bad ball, dug out wide of cover.
full outside off, not much timing but drives it wide of cover down the ground
gives himself room, driven down the ground
Can't afford to save Curran. Here he is for his last over
angled into the pads again, flicked to deep midwicket and he keeps the strike. Ideal for Scorchers
clips a low full toss off his toes through the leg side
Is that enough for a late twist? It shouldn't be. A magnificent stand between Turner and Bancroft
excellent catch by deep midwicket running in! Gets underneath a slower ball, gets much more height than distance. Silk, an excellent fielder, makes a lot of ground
full, fired down the leg side
follows him with a shorter one and hammers a cross-batted swat to deep midwicket
short of a length, moves to the leg side and carves it wide of the cover sweeper
good length, straight, worked through square leg and another example of how good this pair are between the wickets
Kalyanaraman: "even if Scorchers win all their remaining matches (assuming they win this one), they wold still end up at 18 points, which may still not guarantee them a semi-final spot..... " Yep, a lot of work to do
tucks a short-of-a-length delivery into midwicket
a bouncer angled across outside off, beats the top edge as he looks to pull
short of a length slower ball, tapped behind square on the leg side
full at off stump, he's right back on his stumps and clips to midwicket
moves across his crease the scoops a back-of-a-length delivery over his shoulder to fine leg
full and straight, worked into midwicket
banged in short, pulled through straight midwicket, Vince gets across from long-on
moves well outside leg, a slower ball back of a length, cut to deep cover
