Not a bad start from MELBOURNE THUNDER openers. Their batsmen looked confident but struggled for sure in building partnerships. Their tail disappointed them when everyone was expecting them to perform and took their team to a good total. AB de Villiers wicket was a turning point in their innings and also Shane Watson was not looking comfortable after that.

PERTH CANNONS must be happy, everyone in their squad is getting the form as big matches are approaching. Hasan Ali was silent in the beginning matches but now he is in killing form. He destroyed MELBOURNE THUNDER key batsmen and along with other bowlers, he didn't let them settle.

PERTH CANNONS opening stand is showing in each and every match that they are the best opening pair so far in this tournament. This is the 2nd time that PERTH CANNONS openers scored a 170+ runs partnership. They took no pressure at all and chase down the target in just 26.3 overs and goes straight to THE FINAL.

Only 1 wicket came in the hands of MELBOURNE THUNDER bowlers. Their most expensive bowler in this innings took that wicket. They need to learn from this defeat if they wanted to qualify for THE FINAL.

________________________________________
MELBOURNE THUNDER 199 46.2 overs
PERTH CANNONS 202/2 26.3 overs

PERTH CANNONS won by 8 wickets
________________________________________



That will be the match
So, PERTH CANNONS comprehensively beat MELBOURNE THUNDER with 8 wickets to spare
199 was never a large enough total to defend
That's all the cricket for now

Adam Voges celebrates after winning this crucial match. ADELAIDE SHARKS innings was shaky but 103 runs stand between Rohit-Paine and 63 runs stand between White-Voges gave them stability and helped them to win this important contest.

Big partnerships are the key in the main matches. That was poor batting performance from ADELAIDE SHARKS. Their each and every batsman tried to stand on the crease but they wasted too many balls which proved costly and the target they gave was low.

Coulter-Nile was great with the new ball. He did his job by removing the top-order in no time. MELBOURNE THUNDER fielding and bowling was top notch in the 1st innings.

The target was not a big one so there is no pressure on the MELBOURNE THUNDER batsmen. Their batsmen played their natural game and took their team to THE FINAL.

ADELAIDE SHARKS pacers especially Mohammed Shami was their hope in defending that low target. But it's sad to see that they failed badly.
