DC's a hero. Turns out he took no offers up though, because Daniel Hughes has passed his fitness test and can play tonight.
Perth Scorchers Josh Inglis (wk), Kurtis Patterson, Mitch Marsh, Colin Munro, Ashton Turner (capt), Laurie Evans, Ashton Agar, Jhye Richardson, Andrew Tye, Jason Behrendorff, Peter Hatzoglou | X-factor subs: Aaron Hardie, Matthew Kelly
Sydney Sixers Hayden Kerr, Nick Bertus, Daniel Hughes, Moises Henriques (capt), Dan Christian, Sean Abbott, Ben Dwarshuis, Jay Lenton (wk), Jackson Bird, Nathan Lyon, Steve O'Keefe | X-factor subs: Justin Avendano, Lloyd Pope
Sixers still look weak with the bat, particularly if they lose a couple early, but they also have the freedom to sub out Bird for Avendano with six other bowling options available. Scorchers XI unchanged but Matt Kelly returns from COVID to sit on the bench.
5.1: WICKET! Sixers with another big wicket! Marsh holes out to long on, and the Scorchers need an unsung hero now. Lyon strikes after being thoroughly average in his first few games 3/20
5.6: WICKET! Munro reverse sweeps directly to backward point! Big rescue mission now needed. Perth still seem to think they need to score fast. 4/25
7.3: Turner seems to be the one Scorcher who understands he's playing on a shit pitch. Sweeps hard and sends it to the fence, a long hop from Lyon.
7.6: Laurie Evans with a cheeky little glance! Jack Bird prevents it being a boundary but three means even off the over.
8.1: Evans advances and lofts O'Keeffe over cover for four! With the spin, into the gap, that's a very clever shot.
8.3: Evans attacking the spin! Sweeps hard, but is it a four or a six? Padding on the full, may be ground there though. Nope! Six.
8.6: Needle between the forward and backward point! 19 from the over and the momentum has changed significantly.
9.1: Dwarshuis comes into the attack - a risky but possibly rewarding matchup (2/46 from 5.3 overs) - and he slots it behind point for four.
4/68 from 10. Scorchers fightback in the last three overs, and while they don't have the most batting left in the shed at this moment, they still have some capable hitters (Agar, Richardson, even Tye) and could sub in Hardie if needed. Sixers likely to use their sub too

Avendano in for Bird for the Sixers, as expected the moment they published one Ben Dwarshuis at number seven in the batting lineup. Surprised not to see a Hatz for Hardie move - I would have definitely considered making it/
11.1: Timing from Evans! Gets a short one from Abbott, he pulls it away. Note that Abbott will have to either miss a Surge over or a death over... maybe a blunder from the Sixers? 10 from an Abbott over
Surge taken to start the 13th. With Abbott being on cooldown, Kerr has the ball
12.1: Turner with a positive start! Comes down the wicket and hammers it straight past Kerr with both straight men up.
12.6: Turner gets that one fine enough to beat fine leg! 14 from the first Surge over.
They go Sean Abbott. That means they're down their best death bowler for a death over.
13.4: Straight out of the middle of Evans' bat. Flicked through mid wicket for four.
10 from an Abbott over is a win.
14.2: DROPPED! A tough chance goes down to dismiss Turner. Sky ball over near fine leg, and Hughes (running back from short fine) looked in a good position, then it moved in the air late and that, combined with his ankle injury, did him in.
14.4: Evans with a lovely hit! Flat and hard over mid wicket for six. Brings up his fifty.
4/119 from 15. Perth have recovered brilliantly.

Big finish here needed from Scorchers.
15.1: SIX! And fifty for Turner, in his 100th BBL match! He went hard against O'Keefe and it went long and into the Sixers dugout.
15.5: WICKET! Canny bowling from O'Keeffe breaks a 103 run partnership. Bowls a few fast ones, then takes the pace off. Turner doesn't pick it, and slices it to short third man. 5/129, Sixers have a bit of a chance here
15.6: Agar with a lovely start! Clips one off his pads off to the rope. 43 taken from SOK's four overs, unexpectedly.
16.2: LAURIE EVANS! Effortlessly cover drives 88 metres to someone a couple rows back. The shot of a man in form.
17.4: Agar with a lovely shot! Square drives Lyon up and over point for four.
17.6: Four more! Dances down and swats him just out of reach of the wide long on.
18.5: WICKET! Agar with bad cricket. Sends Evans back on an easy second, then gets LBW from Kerr the next ball. 6/158
19.2: CREAMED! Evans drives that one so hard that it's still on the up when it reaches the stand. Second cover six of his innings
6/171 from the Scorchers. That's very competitive and gives them a great chance. 76* for Evans and 54 for Turner the key men.

Not as big as you'd think from Marvel this year - the pitch has been much worse than Evans and Turner made it look

Decent total that. Nice to see Laurie Evans going well.

172 in final is a tough one to chase especially if it's the Scorchers.
MOTM should Perth win and no weird hattricks happen, imho.
Also, Phil Gillespie having a good night

1.3: WICKET! No Kerr heroics today. Behrendorff induces a slice to short third man. Kerr had exactly 100 runs since last being dismissed, sadly for his chances of a weird BBL ton, two came today 1/5
1.4: A huge appeal from the next ball for Hughes! Finger stays down. Was either sliding down the leg side or edged, but both would have been a case of only just.
3.3: Drilled away to the fence by Hughes! Lovely shot.
Turner to bowl the fifth?
4.6: WICKET! It pays off. Behrendorff takes a simple catch at backward point - so simple that he barely celebrates - to remove Bertus. 2/32 from 5 and the game's in the Scorchers hands.
(if you're wondering how they're at 32 with just one four - lots of good running)
6.1: Henriques just beatrs short cover and gets four as a result.
6.6: WICKET! Agar gets the biggest wicket in the lineup! Henriques goes to sweep, one of his weaker shots, and gets LBW'd. Credit to Turner for moving in a cover to change Henriques' plans. 3/46
9.1: Loosener to start from AJ Tye. Drops short with square and fine legs up. Easy four.
9.4: WICKETOHMYGOODNESSWHATAFCKINGCATCHTHATWAS! Christian hooks hard and flat, and Patterson impersonates Superman and takes a absolute speccie. Both leave the field - Patterson appears to have either destroyed a nail or dislocated a finger. Aaron Hardie comes on.
4/63 from 10. Sixers slipping away

4/63 from 10. Sixers slipping away
10.5: Dan Hughes hasn't given up! A brilliant slog sweep from Hughes and he sends it 87 metres deep into the crowd.
11.2: WICKET! Hatzoglou has a wicket and the Renegades faithful love it. Avendano goes for a big drag from a ball outside of and into cow corner, but he drags it back onto his stumps instead. 5/71
12.4: Runout? This may be a horrible call that's burned Hughes! Abbott calls him through for a tight single forgetting his partner has a sore ankle and... OUT! Huge moment. To be fair, rifle arm from Mitch Marsh. Hughes' nice innings is over and, unless Dwarshuis and Abbott light this up, game over. 6/77
13.2: WICKET! Abbott gets a massive top edge and sends it deep to Patterson, newly with ten fingernails, who takes a much easier catch. One from nine plus running out Hughes... 7/77
13.3: WICKET! Tye on a hattrick! The makeshift Sixers lineup is not coping at all. Dwarshuis gets a tickle on a hook and it goes on the way through to Inglis. Tye nearly forgets to appeal in his celebration 8/77
13.4: Edged, but forward of square and into a gap. No hattrick for Tye, but 3/7 in a final (at this moment) isn't a bad night for Tye.
14.3: WICKET! Jhye Richardson goes through Lyon like a dose of salts. Sixers 9/82, Jhye one wicket from ending it.
15.3: Lenton is batting a bit low at nine! On drives Tye over mid on and gets four.
9/91 from 16. This could be over soon

16.2: WICKET! PERTH WIN BBL11! Richly deserved. Ashton Agar will be pissed as he gets completely left out of the huddle, but everyone else in a huge pile of human. The wicket was fairly standard - and extremely expected, as Richardson just sends it full and fast at O'Keefe and gets the expected results. Richardson's been shouldered in the nose and given a blood nose - I believe this might be the fault of Kurtis Patterson but I couldn't make out what he said. The bench was out there in a flash, which is partially the responsibility of the great culture and partially the result of their prediction of Steve O'Keeffe vs Jhye Richardson.
Credit's gotta go to the Sixers too - they fought past the form team of the competition missing four starters - but they didn't have the quality left in the lineup without Vince, Philippe and Silk - and with those remaining mostly being half fit - to deal with the Scorchers' potent bowling lineup. All out for 92 in the end, losing 6/21 at the end - Sean Abbott didn't lose Sydney this match but he did cause it to be so uncompetitive.
The kids and families are out on the ground now. Except for Colin Munro's, who he's currently trying to signal to up in the crowd. Also signals down a Scorchers fan and donates him his gloves. Presentation preparations on going. I'll make a new post for it.
