Sydney Sixers 220/3 (20) beat Perth Scorchers 206/7 (20) by 14 runs 

Steven Smith 121*(64) | Moises Henriques 46(28) 

Ashton Turner 66*(32) | Sean Abbott 4-43(4) 

The Sydney Sixers have secured two valuable points tonight! It was the Perth Scorchers who would've surely been more desperate for it but despite the best efforts of their skipper Ashton Turner, they end up falling short by just 14 runs with Steven Smith's innings perhaps being the difference between the two sides. 

The Scorchers got off to a strong start in the power play despite losing a couple of wickets in the fourth over. They couldn't control the middle overs though as wickets kept tumbling at regular intervals. After good knocks by Sam Fanning and Cooper Connolly, it was skipper Ashton Turner and Matthew Spoors who kept the Scorchers in the game with their quick-fire 76-run partnership. 

They failed to capitalise on the Power Surge as well, which perhaps costed them this match. The duo of Turner and Spoors got the game very close but failed to seal it in the end. Sean Abbott starred with a 4-wicket haul while Dwarshuis, Hayden Kerr and Henriques picked up one wicket each. 

The Sixers will now face the Strikers in a few days' time while qualification chances for the Scorchers look bleak with a tough game against the Thunder next. 

19.4 Moises Henriques to Matthew Spoors, OUT! CAUGHT! That's the game right there! Back of the length and on the middle stump line, Spoors swings across the line but ends up slicing it high in the air. Josh Philippe settles under it and pouches it with ease!

19.3 Moises Henriques to Matthew Spoors, FOUR! Full and on the middle stump line, Spoors charges it and thrashes it through the covers for a boundary, Baz McCullum style!

19.2 Moises Henriques to Ashton Turner, full and on the leg stump, Turner looks to work it into the leg side but misses. Ricochets off the pads into the leg side for a single 

19.1 Moises Henriques to Matthew Spoors, full and on the off stump line, Spoors heaves it towards deep mid-wicket for a single. Over to the skipper now 

18.6 Hayden Kerr to Ashton Turner, FOUR MORE! A huge full toss outside off, Turner slashes it but gets it off the toe-end of the bat. With third man in the ring, it races away to the fence again! 

18.5 Hayden Kerr to Ashton Turner, FOUR! Length ball wide outside off, Turner throws his bat at it and gets it away to the third man fence courtesy of an outside edge
