Jason Behrendorff picked 3 wickets but his captain's bid to give him the 19th over in an effort to take the remaining 2 wickets resulted in Fawad Ahmed smashing him for 15 runs and ending the match. This also spoiled his beautiful figures.
Code:
Perth Scorchers  - 169/10 in 19.2 overs. 
Sydney Thunder   - 170/8  in 19.0 overs. 

Sydney Thunder won by 2 wickets (with 6 balls remaining)
Code:
POINTS:
Sydney Thunder   - 2
Perth Scorchers  - 0
 
Really dissapointing that. We could of done with a couple of other batsman standing up and getting us another 10-15 runs which would've been easily defendable in the end, but I didn't expect Fawad Ahmed to smash Behrendorff around!

0.2  Ben Cutting to Tim Ludeman, Tucked away to the leg side, they're running hard, but only manage a single.Edged and through the vacant third slip region. Just after the skipper had removed a man from that region. Don't you just hate that? One run.  (1) 
0.3  Ben Cutting to Travis Head, , Wide, one run  (1)

1.1  James Hopes to Travis Head, He comes on the front foot to drive it, and is beaten for bounce! But instead of checking his shot, he follows through with it and sends it sailing into the pavillion! 6 runs, excellent batting!  (6)

1.3  James Hopes to Travis Head, The batsman lines up for a big slog over cow corner, but gets an inside edge, which scoots past the stumps and the keeper for four runs! The bowler has a wry smile, if the batsman keeps that up, it won't be too long till he's back in the pavillion...  (4)

1.6  James Hopes to Tim Ludeman, The batsman calls for a single, but hesitates and nearly gets his partner run out! An effort that would make Owais Shah proud! No run.  (0)

18.2  Kane Richardson to James Hopes, Beautiful shot! Down the ground, easy four for the batsman.  (4) 
18.3  Kane Richardson to James Hopes, Ah, the quicker ball. The batsman was late on it. No run.  (0) 
18.4  Kane Richardson to James Hopes, Gosh, how unlucky can you be. He's absolutely nailed that, but straight to the fielder. No run.  (0) 
18.5  Kane Richardson to James Hopes, Ah, he's beaten by the movement! It moved in the air, and deviated away off the pitch, taking the offstump with it! No chance for the batsman there, he just walks away bemused.

19.1  Ben Laughlin to Joe Burns, Good shot, they're running hard, the throw comes in, but they've managed a comfortable two.  (2) 
19.2  Ben Laughlin to Joe Burns, That one deviated sharply of the pitch, the batsman had no chance of playing that. Dot ball.  (0) 
19.3  Ben Laughlin to Joe Burns, The batsman lines up for a big slog over cow corner, but gets an inside edge, which scoots past the stumps and the keeper for four runs! The bowler has a wry smile, if the batsman keeps that up, it won't be too long till he's back in the pavillion...  (4) 
19.4  Ben Laughlin to Joe Burns, Full, wide, the batsman flails at it and finds the edge! But the ball flies between the keeper and slip, who just stare at each other as the ball runs away for four! Unlucky!  (4) 
19.5  Ben Laughlin to Joe Burns, AND HE'S OU...noooo! Got back home just in time. Two runs.  (2) 
19.6  Ben Laughlin to Joe Burns, Buffet bowling, the batsman helps himself to four more.  (4)

Great batting by the skipper and the Big Show. Faulkner and Hastings played their part too. Hopefully the net run-rate will award us the first place on the points table.

6.1  Xavier Doherty to Glenn Maxwell, The batsman lines up for a big slog over cow corner, but gets an inside edge, which scoots past the stumps and the keeper for four runs! The bowler has a wry smile, if the batsman keeps that up, it won't be too long till he's back in the pavillion...  (4)
