Scorchers vs Renegades, 26th Match at Perth, BBL, Jan 07 2026 - Match Result

Oliver Peake, you absolute champion! A nerveless shot under immense pressure, and the stadium goes silent! Oh my days. This is a shot and then some. Hardie goes fuller outside off and that leads to his undoing. Peake somehow pre-empts it, shimmies across and then paddles the living daylights out of this. Clean over short fine leg and Peake leaps into the air in delight. 19 years old, but with ice in his veins. What a knock and what a game!

a massive dot! This is top bowling. Bashed in short and reading up on leg stump

No room to free the arms and Peake splices it back to the bowler

Hard length, getting big on Peake on off stump. Peake slugs it towards long on, and Peake channels his inner Usain Bolt to make it back for the second

Back of a length outside off. Elliot gives it the big wind-up but only cloths it into the mid off region

Hard length, slanting into leg stump. Peake has a swipe at it and plinks it just over the bowler. Hardie cannot believe how that has evaded him

has Peake been run out?! He could be in real trouble here! Back of a length, tucking up the batter. Peake backs away further and shanks it towards long on. He wants to come back for the second but has to scurry every sinew to get there. Allen's throw is sharp and at the stumps but Peake's hustle has trumped that by the barest of margins!

Slower ball on a length on off. Peake drop-kicks it towards deep mid wicket and is happy to keep strike

Sharp short ball on off and this climbs through. Elliot swipes at it and gets tagged on the helmet, with the ball popping up towards short third

Back of a length on the hips. Elliot tucks it between deep mid wicket and deep square leg and races back for two

six and out, and the crowd erupts! And we have another twist in this game! Hard length, angling into middle and off from around the wicket. Sutherland steps down and backs away, wanting to go inside out. Slices across it too much, though, and extra cover back-pedals to send the crowd into absolute raptures!

Sutherland with a moment of magic! Back of a length in and around off. Sutherland uses his feet, steps down and clubs it over mid off!

Bashed in short outside off. Peake tries to hit it too hard and scuffs it into the off side

full and wide outside off. Sutherland throws his hands at it and fails to make contact

shortish just outside off. Peake gives himself room and slaps it past a diving extra cover. Back for three more runs

back of a length in the channel. Skips off the surface and Peake, fishing at it, sees the ball whistle past his outside edge

four more! Seems like a slower ball that goes wrong. Loopy full toss outside off and Peake shimmies across to scoop it over short fine leg!

slower short ball on leg stump. Peake swivels and heaves it towards deep backward square leg

fullish outside off. Sutherland backs away and flays it towards extra cover. Takes Connolly on and a direct hit would have been curtains for the MR skipper

nails this one! Speared in full on off stump. Peake shuffles across early, gets his bat down in time and laps it over short fine leg!

Back of a length delivery wide outside off. Peake walks down and then swings like a rusty gate. Misses the ball by a mile
