full toss hammered through cover! Thunder get it done
Scorchers vs Thunder, 12th Match at Canberra, BBL, Dec 22 2020 - Ball by Ball Commentary
Thunder won by 7 wickets (with 3 balls remaining)
That concludes our coverage tonight from Canberra. The Thunder were too good. The Scorchers remain winless. Thanks for your company. Join us again tomorrow for the Heat Strikers clash.
10.30pm Sydney Thunder win by 7 wickets with three balls to spare. Ferguson and Cutting controlled the chase beautifully after Oliver Davies set them up with an excellent innings on debut. The Scorchers didn't have enough. Mitch Marsh thought they were 25 runs short and he was proved right.
Callum Ferguson is Player of the Match for his 61 not out from 53 balls: "The bowlers were outstanding all the way through. We asked the guys to be really disciplined and they were. We thought the wicket was tacky and thought we'd weather the storm early and then we timed our run into the Bash Boost and then we got ahead of the rate. Cuttsy was excellent at the end. (Davies) did it beautifully tonight and he's got a bright future."
