  • Player of the Match
    Laurie Evans
    69(46)
Right! Scorchers continue their upward journey in this competition and have not only sealed their finals' spot, they have even sealed their position in the top 2 (assuming our math is correct). The Stars are lurking down in 7th spot, but given that 5 teams can qualify for the finals, they still have an outside chance, with Heat and Renegades not too far ahead of them. This game's coverage ends here but there is another game coming up, this one featuring the other team from Melbourne - the Renegades - who take on the Sydney Sixers at this very same venue, Geelong. That game begins at 1:45 pm IST (0815 GMT), but the build up will begin well in advance. So please, do tune in early. ADIOS! TAKE CARE!
Yes, as expected, LAURIE EVANS HAS BEEN NAMED AS THE PLAYER OF THE MATCH.
Earlier, the tiredness from the previous game showed in Melbourne's bowling, with the bowling looking less sharp as compared to Monday and the fielding, a touch shabby. It was sixes galore with as many as 10 balls clearing the ropes. Despite Munro not being around, Perth put on an a batting exhibition, with the exception of Kurtis Patterson. Laurie Evans was the star with a flamboyant 46-ball 69 and it does seem like he would be the player of the match. Please stay tuned for the confirmation...
One feels that it is actually not necessary to talk about the Scorchers' bowling. We are so used to it, aren't we? Terrific new-ball bowlers - be it Behrendorff or Kelly or someone else - then the stifling in the middle overs through Hatzoglou and Agar and eventually, the kill at the death through Tye. This well-oiled unit is simply too good to be attacked. It was Kelly's turn to be a hero in this game, snaring 4 wickets.
A layman or someone watching the game from outside, might just wonder - how does it matter if we keep two back-to-back T20Is? After all, the players are playing only for three-and-a-half hours, right? Well, it does matter. Joe Clarke had opened in the previous game but that knock took so much out of him that he simply was not fit enough to open in this encounter. As a result, the Stars could not quite get a good start with the bat. Yes, Beau Webster and Joe Burns did string a 58-run stand for the second wicket but that came in 42 balls, which was a touch slow. No one else could actually do much and even with Glenn Maxwell returning, not as skipper, but as a pure batter for this contest, Perth hardly had any contest.
What a difference a period of 24 hours makes. On Monday, the Stars were gung ho after beating Adelaide Strikers but come Tuesday, they have been 'scorched' down to earth. We have said this before and are saying this again - Perth Scorchers are the team to beat this season. Yet another comprehensive victory.

Also, they have restricted the Stars below 79 runs and hence, they make the Bash Boost point theirs. The Scorchers will be eyeing to take home the rest of three points as well. Although, the target is a stiff one for the Stars, they would hope their current pair can take the game deep.
