9.45 pm Massive win for Perth Scorchers, They are the third team to be on six points in the Big Bash, and the margin - 50 runs - may even be enough to put them on top of the table. Meanwhile the defending champions Sydney Thunder have suffered their fourth straight loss in the tournament. Hurting from the loss of big players, and unable to a batsman who can take control in the top order, their season is already pear shaped. Thank you for joining our coverage today, hope you had fun, Happy New Year again and bye bye.

Jhye Richardson to Green, no run
the round of applause starts even as Richardson is running in. The WACA is delighted with their team's work. And it ends with a rip-roaring bouncer. Angled into the right-hander, makes him sway out of the way and the ramp shot is in vain

Jhye Richardson to Green, FOUR runs
thick outside edge flies past the keeper's right. Whiteman dives in the hopes of taking a catch, but the ball just came off too quickly

Jhye Richardson to Green, no run
free hit ball amounts to nothing. It's full and outside off, the batsman makes room to smash it down the ground and ends up making too much to connect

Jhye Richardson to McKay, 1 run
goes for the yorker on leg stump, McKay is making room, tries to slice it behind point, but ends up with an inside edge
Jhye Richardson to bowl the last over. He has about infinity to defend. Well, actually 62. But it may as well be

Marsh to Cummins, 1 run, OUT
what a throw! Cummins is caught short by the wicketkeeper Sam Whiteman, who first takes off towards square leg in hopes of getting under a top edge. When that didn't happen, he realises he has a run-out chance. He has already done away with his right glove. Picks it up with his left hand, turns around and transfers the ball into his right, all in one motion, takes aim and hits the mark
