11:11 AM

At 19/4 after 5 overs, Perth Scorchers saw an opportunity to open up the contest, despite having only made 103 themselves. The next three overs saw a change of momentum though, Sam Harper, playing as a replacement for Aaron Finch and the experienced Mohammad Nabi - plundered 39 runs and ensured that the hard work of the bowlers didn't go in vain. There was another twist as both fell in the 12th over, but the damage had been done and Dan Christian shepharded the team home. For the Scorchers, Behrendorff and Coulter-Nile were excellent in their opening burst, but had little to offer since then.
