Scorer: @Cricket_Lama | Commentator: Sreshth Shah
9.30 pm Scorchers win their sixth-straight game at the WACA, while they complete their sixth-straight win over the Hurricanes as well. They move to the top of the table while the Hurricanes stay on third. That's all from us from today's double-header Saturday. Hope you enjoyed ESPNcricinfo's coverage of the BBL. For now, it's good bye!
Chirag Gupta: "Feeling bad for Christian, bowled good yorkers throughout the over except the last 2 bowls which he just missed by fine margins and Turner took full advantage of those little margins!"
Rags: "Ash Turner closes it out. Surprising Aussies chose White and not Turner for the ODI team...."
9.27 pm Ashton Turner: "Was very nervous during the chase. This was the first game in our pursuit to the final, so we're happy. Everyone is doing well for us. Doesn't matter what the name on the back of your shirt is, everyone's batting for the name in the front."

Archer to Turner, FOUR, full on off stump, walks across to the off side and paddles this over the keeper's head. Clinical stuff, as th ball lands just inside the fine-leg boundary. Turner reaches his fifty and Scorchers win by five wickets

1
Archer to Agar, 1 run, full toss on middle stump, smacked to mid off, but not off the middle of the bat. Quick single on offer, and they take it. Direct hit at the non-striker's, but Agar's dive saved him
Scorchers need five off six.

Christian to Turner, SIX, full on middle stump, and it's a low full toss! Dispatched! Flies over the long-on boundary! Such sweet connection off the bat. Front foot out of the way, and smacked with all the muscle he possesses

Christian to Turner, FOUR, full on leg stump, and that's smacked! Falls short of Bailey and Archer at cow corner. The captain did well to parry it back, but his last touch came from beyond the ropes. Crunch boundary, there

1
Christian to Agar, 1 run, full on middle stump, tries to squeeze this towards the leg side but the ball takes the inside edge through to his pads. Appeal for lbw, but bat first, says the umpire

Christian to Turner, 1 run, full on leg stump, once again cramped Turner's toes. Dug back past Christian's right
square leg comes in
