The Perth Scorchers finished their innings on 197/4 with the help of Cooper Connolly’s 37(18) and Laurie Evans’ 72(34). Skipper Aaron Hardie also scored 32(24) and now Sydney Sixers need to chase down 198 in 20 overs to finish in second place.

Laurie Evans has done his job and on the back of his innings, Perth Scorchers have given a huge target to the Sydney Sixers. Now it is up to the bowlers to do their job. Perth Scorchers have a strong bowling line-up with the likes of Jason Behrendorff, Andrew Tye, Lance Morris, and Ashton Agar.
