Cricinfo’s Most Valuable Players of the Match
That brings us to the end of what has been another super day at the BBL. Plenty of cricket going on. Afghanistan are on the verge of a series win against Zimbabwe, while a good contest is brewing in Cape Town, where England have done quite well on the first morning. Hop over to those tabs. Until next time. it's goodbye from all of us here at the commentary desk.
Troy: "Came home, turned the TV on and see Cowan playing a T20 game. I guess I've seen everything now." He seems to have become more robust with his shot selection, according to Adam Gilchrist. Wonder if he was joking. Coming back to today, he was undone by one that kept low. Can't really fault him for that tonight
Sixers were ordinary with the bat, and Scorchers have absolutely decimated them on a cracker of a pitch here at the WACA. Sixers slip further in the tournament. The defending champs have lost just one wicket in the last two matches. Shaun Marsh was absolutely brilliant with his stroke play, but it was the bowlers that set the game up for the Scorchers. The pacers, particularly David Willey, varied his lengths superbly, while Joel Paris impressed with his pace.
David Willey is the Man of the Match for his 3 for 22 Must have been hard to pick, isn't it? All the bowlers did well. The batsmen have been clinical.

Bird to Marsh, FOUR runs
short and he's hammered that into the deep square leg boundary. How quickly does he pick lengths up? This one wasn't all that slow a delivery, but he rolled his wrists over that one nicely to generate power
