This was a bit of a thumping at the hands of the Perth Scorchers. The Sixers did not get going at all. The Scorchers batted first and were very solid knocking an impressive 189/3. The Sixers bowlers did not take enough wickets and the Scorchers were 120/1 at the fall of the first wicket.
In return, the Sixers performed poorly with the bat ending 140 all out with 4 balls remaining. This performance was an embarrassment to the top order batters. After 11 overs they were 55/7 and the game was all over. Ben Dwarshuis came out with some credit getting 66 from 29 balls but this wasn’t enough to even get them close to the target.
The Sixer will have to perform a lot better than this to get to the final.
