Match Details
Jason Behrendorff was tidy in the powerplay and utilized the lateral movement off the surface, and as a result, Stars only managed to secure 38. Beau Webster, the next man in, joined forces with Marcus Stoinis for a brief period before Ashton Agar dismissed Stoinis for 4(7).
The Scorchers’ bowlers were clinical throughout their stints and kept the run rate under wraps. The 52-run partnership between Webster and Nick Larkin gave the Stars an outside chance but the target was a little too much for them. Larkin chipped in with a 34(24) before returning back to the pavilion and Webster also contributed 43(32) with the bat before getting cleaned up by Peter Hatzoglou.
Jason Behrendorff was the pick of the bowlers for Scorchers and ended his stint with the figures of 3/32. Right-arm leg-break bowler Peter Hatzoglou also attained a couple of scalps by giving away 28 runs, while Jhye Richardson, Andrew Tye, and Ashton Agar claimed a scalp each.
While Faf was playing the aggressor, southpaw Hobson took the chores of running between the wickets and crossed the 100-run threshold inside the halfway mark. The Stars’ bowlers mixed their pace well but were unable to find a breakthrough. Faf completed his half-century and secured 68(33) before Luke Wood broke the 70-run partnership.
