Scorchers vs Thunder, 16th Match at Sydney, BBL, Dec 30 2025 - Match Result

that will be that! And the final catch is taken, fittingly, by Turner! Sharp short ball on middle and off. Zips through and Topley is incredibly hurried on his hack. Lobs it tamely towards mid off, and the Scorchers captain ices a game he played a pivotal role in!

Short on off. Topley gives himself room and chops it towards backward point, who misses his shy at the batter's end, and allows an overthrow eventually

Back of a length on the stumps. Topley backs away and nonchalantly glides it down to deep third. Top work on the fence too

Short and wide outside off. Topley cuts it towards deep point

Shortish on leg stump. Sangha hops back and tugs it towards deep mid wicket

Fullish outside off. Sangha, ambitiously, shapes for the reverse and misses

Length ball on the stumps. Played back to the bowler

Hung up wide outside off. Left alone, hoping for the wide but Sangha does not get it

Back of a length on off. Sangha nudges it into the vast real estate in the mid wicket region, and dashes back for two

Back of a length outside off. Topley keeps swinging like a rusty gate, and only the whoosh of the bat connecting with fresh air comes through

Shortish on middle and leg, and this skips through. Topley swings for the hills and misses

McAndrew and his fun is over! Speared in full on middle and leg. McAndrew flicks it away uppishly towards deep square leg. Agar tracks it all the way, moves smartly to his left and makes no mistake whatsoever. Thunder nine down now!

Four more! A bit of a half-tracker on leg stump. McAndrew opens up his stance and bulldozes it behind square on the leg side!

Another cutter, on a back of a length wide outside off. McAndrew drags it towards deep mid wicket

On-pace bumper on middle and leg. McAndrew has a wild swipe at it and the ball flies off the top edge over the keeper's head!

Slower bouncer on middle and leg. McAndrew sways out of the way and the square leg umpire reckons it is a wide on height

Very full just outside off. Sangha opens his bat face and glides it towards backward point

holes out to long on, and the Thunder are right down now! Another slower ball testing out the middle of the track. Well outside off too, meaning Green has to fetch it. Swats it flat but also straight to Allen at long on, who snares the chance smartly!

Slanted in on a length on the stumps. Stabbed to long on

and Konstas will not face any more balls tonight! Slower bumper on middle and leg. Konstas moves over to the off side but does not have the requisite pace to hook this over short fine. Makes contact but offers the most regulation of chances to short fine leg. Thunder on the brink now!
