Jason Roy is Man of the Match: It's been a huge couple of days. Fortunate to be Man of the Match. Everyone contributed to that win. Going further now, bigger scores are needed. After the start we had, people were a bit down, but to turn it around and come back is an incredible feeling. It's credit to the big characters in our dressing room. We've adapted very well so far. The sprinklers are coming off on us! Winning those games in Perth, with the facilities there, it's quite easy. But going around the grounds and to keep on it was very good.
Perth Scorchers are now top of the table. Early on in the tournament they were down at the other end. Now, they are absolutely purring. Jason Roy with a half-century. Colin Munro, even when he's batting down the order, is proving effective. But the key to this unit is their bowling attack, led by Jhye Richardson and Andrew Tye. They had already qualified for the knockouts and they look very very dangerous.

Jhye Richardson to Hinchliffe, 1 run
whips it to the deep midwicket fielder. And that's that.

1lb
Jhye Richardson to Cartwright, 1 leg bye
shifts his plans after four yorkers go completely awry and targets the batsman's head with a bouncer. And it's a quick one too. Cartwright tries to pull, but it's on him too soon, hits the glove, then his helmet and results in a single somewhere behind square leg. Quick concussion check and he's okay

Jhye Richardson to Cartwright, SIX runs
smashes it over long-on. That's the power the Stars have been looking for at the back end. It's coming all too late though

Jhye Richardson to Hinchliffe, 2 runs
tries to correct his mistake and goes over cover this time as Richardson misses the blockhole again, but there's not enough power in the shot.

attempted yorker goes slightly wrong outside off stump, and he just carves it over the left of long-off. Deep in his crease, full bottom hand power. Outstanding shot.

inside edge onto body and they pinch a quick single before the bowler can run up the pitch and fling a throw at the strikers' end
