Full commentary

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

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

Is that enough for a late twist? It shouldn't be. A magnificent stand between Turner and Bancroft

Abbott to Turner, OUT

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

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
