Moises Henriques Eyeing BBL Record

“To be able to play the whole time with one club and stay at the Sixers and have the opportunity to lead throughout that time is pretty special to be honest,” Henriques said.

Perth Scorchers are the defending champions of the title having won the title last season beating the Brisbane Heat in the final. The schedule for the upcoming season is yet to be announced with the round of trades still remaining.

“It’s a surreal feeling. I have played a lot of games of cricket but you still never know how it’s gonna pan out. To be able to have the closest game of the competition in the final in front of an orange stadium … You’ve painted the stadium orange tonight and the support has been overwhelming. We have had a lot of guys in form and that’s not always the case particularly in T20 cricket. A lot of guys have contributed throughout the year to the wins. We have played an exciting brand of cricket. It’s the ‘never say die’ attitude. I think we have the confidence we can win from anywhere” said Perth Scorchers captain Ashton Turner after leading his team to their fifth BBL title.
