abc.net.au/news/big-bash-qualifier-perth-scorchers-vs-sydney-sixers/101902154Ashton Turner produced a memorable captain's knock as the Perth Scorchers overcame a devastating burst from Sean Abbott to book their spot in the BBL grand final with a seven-wicket triumph over the Sydney Sixers.
But a mature partnership between Turner and Cameron Bancroft turned the match the Scorchers' way, with the home side reaching the victory target with nine balls to spare in front of 41,126 fans. Earlier, Steve Smith failed to make the most of a golden reprieve but Moises Henriques was able to cash in as the Sixers recovered from a shaky start to reach a respectable total.The former Test captain entered the match having blasted scores of 36, 101, 125no and 66 in his past four innings, and Hardie would have been fearful his dropped catch would cost the Scorchers dearly.
