That's it from us. Scorchers bank another important win on the road. Hurricanes have some thinking to do after a tough night with the ball. Thanks for your company.
Mitch Marsh is Player of the Match for his 102: "I've felt pretty good in the games I've missed out in. The key for me is sticking to my routines. I know what works for me to be mentally good to go. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a bit nervous tonight. You always want to contribute and get going in the tournament. Really nice to contribute to a win."
Tonka: "This is why Cricket has gone downhill. Marsh even agrees Hardie was stiff. 94 not out at S/R of 200 with 2 wickets from 3 overs."
10.36pm Scorchers win by 40 runs. They end a nine-game winning streak for Hurricanes at home. Brilliant batting from Mitchell Marsh and Aaron Hardie set it up and then an even contribution with the ball plus scoreboard pressure was too much for the hosts.
Allen might have missed the stumps on a run out chance! Tossed up outside off, he skips down and gets a thick edge to deep third, they push for three, the throw is over the bails but Allen misses the stumps!
good length wide of off, he swings hard and gets a thick inside edge onto his foot
arm ball on off, he drives and gets a thick inside edge behind square
Marsh takes a beauty running back from point! Flighted outside off, he tries to loft over cover, gets under it and Marsh runs back from point and takes an excellent diving catch
tossed up wide of off, he miscues a drive to long-on
134kph, good length over middle, he steps outside off but misses trying to lap fine
A fielder needs to come inside the circle because of a slower over-rate

full wide yorker that's outside the guide line but Ellis had moved well outside off! Paris was furious it was called
Jisan: "Rishad Hossain is a better batter than HH rates him!!!"
131kph, full and wide, he reaches out and square drives to deep point
lofted just wide of the sub Fanning! Slower ball wide of off, he lofts it high to cover, Fanning was slow to move and it was just out of reach and it runs into the rope
good length wide of off, he misses with a wild swing
flicked in the air to Hobson at forward square and it's just short of him and it goes under him! Good attempt at a catch but he couldn't get there
