length ball slower ball in the slot at 108 kph pulled through deep midwicket.
Hurricanes vs Scorchers, 24th Match at Perth, Jan 05 2020, Big Bash League
10:17 pm That's all from me for tonight. I'm Peter Della Penna. Come back tomorrow for coverage of the next BBL encounter between Sydney Thunder and Brisbane Heat.
Darcy Short named Man of the Match: "It got a bit closer than I would have liked at the end but the boys stuck to their plans and have come out the other end. Hopefully tonight kicks us on and we get a few more wins. Riley is going for a scan to see what's wrong but we've definitely got the depth to cover him [and James Faulkner]."
10:10 pm Fielding was the difference between the two sides in the end. Darcy Short dropped multiple times, starting on 21, on the way to making a 70-ball century that took the Hurricanes to a total that was just enough in the end. Despite Riley Meredith leaving the field after two overs due to a side strain and no James Faulkner in the lineup either, the Hurricanes wind up winning rather comfortably in spite of the final official margin. The Hurricanes move into fifth place with the win while Perth hang back in seventh, sitting above the winless Renegades.
length ball clubbed over long-on. Crowd still going bonkers even though the match is technically over.
slower ball at 111 kph pulled through to deep backward square. Mathematically over now barring any wides or no balls.
short on the stumps, pulls it through the gap between midwicket and deep backward square. Three sixes needed now to force a super over.
overpitched on fourth stump, heaves this over long-on. Just four more sixes needed now...
heat from Ellis at 138 kph beats Richardson on length outside off heaving for midwicket.
Just a cool 29 needed off the last over...
slower ball outside off, chops this into the ground and dribbles behind the stumps to McDermott.
length ball on fifth stump, skies a slog to midwicket well short of the man charging in from the rope.
full toss on sixth stump, swatted back to Boland's left and he gets a hand on it to slow it down short of mid-off.
short outside off, swatted wide of long-on.
slower ball at 114 kph on fifth stump on a good length, Richardson way out in front trying to go for midwicket.
yorker down leg, McDermott does well to stop it from being five.
in the slot on the stumps, heaves this over backward square leg. Scorchers not done just yet.
chops this off the stumps to keep strike.
slog in the air towards long-on, Jewell misreads it charging across and it bounces in front.
yorker on the stumps, dug out and Ellis misses run out Richardson at the striker's end in his follow-through. Diving scoop and flick from five yards misses with Richardson three yards short.
length ball on the stumps slogged to long-on, Short. Yet again tonight a batsman caught trying to clear the very short straight boundaries in Perth. Didn't get the elevation and Short claims this at head height two yards in from the rope.
slower ball on fourth stump, slightly out in front of a slog to midwicket, inside edge past the stumps through fine leg for a boundary.
Whom would you pick as your cricketers of the 2010s? MS Dhoni or Virat Kohli? Ellyse Perry or Mithali Raj? Get your votes in.
full on off, clipped into midwicket to keep strike for the next over.
