Thunder vs Scorchers, 39th Match at Sydney, BBL, Jan 13 2023 - Ball by Ball Commentary
Scorchers won by 9 wickets (with 43 balls remaining)
9.02 pm So for the second night in a row, an extremely lopsided nine-wicket result in the BBL.
Scorchers opener Cameron Bancroft after his 55 not out: "I'm just really enjoying the opportunity as much as I can. The wicket always is a little bit two-paced here and best use of it is probably to get up top and open the batting."
That's it for today's live coverage. Come back tomorrow for more live BBL action. Until then, take care!
