17:15 PM IST, 19:45 PM LOCAL TIME: So that's that from our end and we did witness some terrific bowling in the first hour or so, which was followed up some lusty blows that got us off our seats.
Here's hoping that we get to be a part of more such action as we roll forward in the BBL. Until then this is Wali, Akshay and Paras signing off. Take care everyone!

17:05 PM IST, 19:35 PM Local Time: So that’s that and it’s the Perth Scorchers that have secured a staggering win by nine wickets and 23 balls to spare while chasing 173.
Batting first, the Hurricanes got off to a poor start as Ben McDermott 4 (3) was sent back in the second over by Jason Behrendorff. Behrendorff followed it up with the wicket of Sam Hain on the very next ball as he got wrapped on the pads. Tim David walked out to bat and joined Caleb Jewell tried to restabilize the innings but the stay was short lived as David 12 (8) turned out to be Behrendorff’s third wicket of the day.
Lance Morris had an impact straightaway as he got rid of Caleb Jewell 12 (11) on his very first delivery with the score being 28/4. The Scorchers bowled brilliantly and troubled the Hurricanes with pace and bounce. Corey Anderson 8 (16) didn’t have much to offer either as Andrew Tye was the next to chip in with a wicket.
Nikhil Chaudhary and Mitchell Owen did manage to put up a 56 run stand and did display a bit of fight. Chaudhary’s 40 (31) impressive knock came to an end as he chopped one to Behrendorff to become his fourth victim of the day.
Owen 28 (22) sliced one to the fielder at point during Ashton Agar’s over just when he was looking to accelerate. With the score being 107-7 from 15 overs it seemed that the Hurricanes would have been restricted under 140. However, that’s when Chris Jordan came through and changed the dynamics. Jordan went hard from the very start and smashed his way to a stellar knock of 59 (20).
The England international struck six fours and five sixes while batting with a strike rate of nearly 300 to get his side to a total which was considered par.
That being said, it was Jason Behrendorff who topped the charts for the Scorchers with his spell of 4/25.
The momentum did shift after that trailblazing knock by Jordan and the Scorchers might have felt the pressure.
The Perth Scorchers did lose an early wicket of Cooper Connolly 5 (7) with Jordan chipping in once again. But that was it for the day for Hobart as the Scorchers fired back with utmost distain. The duo of Zak Crawley 65 (46)* and Aaron Hardie 85 (45)* stuck a belligerent 156* run stand in no-time to win their side the game.
Crawley played quite a few stellar drives which contributed six fours and a six in his inning. Whereas, Hardie made his presence felt through his power that led to four fours and five sixes. From those five sixes, four of them were hit in one over of Patrick Dooley.
Although the wicket did have pace and bounce, Crawley and Hardie did make batting look easy throughout.
Apart from Chris Jordan's heroics, the Hobart Hurricanes didn't have a day to remember and they'll be going back to the drawing board as they look to bounce back.
Jason Behrendorff (Player of the Match): "We love playing here. It’s a great wicket and lot of assistance to the bowlers. We bowled very well in the first half. Everything Jordan touched, it turned to gold. We were off with our lines and lengths. He smacked a few and it was tough for us but he batted really well.
(On Zak Crawley) Yeah. King of Bazball. He smashed from the word go. Tough for a international player to come here and adjust to the bounce but he batted realty well. Also, Hardie played really well at the other end.
The T20 World Cup next year is on the back of my mind but I’m just enjoying myself playing every game. We talk a lot about basing the plans on our strengths. The main thing is to stick to our strengths and it has worked well for us in the past."

16.2 N Ellis to A Hardie
nb Ellis bowls a no-ball and that's that! Shorter in length on the stumps, Hardie sits back and pulls it towards deep square leg and runs for one. Perth Scorchers get home in the 17th over with nine wickets in hand. They have absolutely dominated with the bat as they cruise past the Hobart Hurricanes with 22 balls to spare.
16.2 N Ellis to A Hardie
WD Ellis errs in line as he sprays this one down leg and Hardie misses the flick. Wide signaled by the umpire.
16.1 N Ellis to A Hardie
4 FOUR!!!! Beautiful shot from Aaron Hardie. Ellis bowls it on a length outside off, Hardie stands still and plays the lofted drive over extra covers for a boundary. Nice extension of the arms on this one. The ball falls just short of the ropes. Two required to win now for the Scorchers.
