Jason Behrendorff to Matthew Short, FOUR! First boundary of the run chase. The length is on the shorter side, around middle and off, Matthew Short stays on the back foot and pulls it across the line. It drops wide of mid on and races behind for a boundary.

David Moody to Henry Hunt, FOUR! Fabulous shot and Henry Hunt is away! Moody serves it on a length and around off, Hunt doesn't try to go hard and just caresses it through covers for a boundary.

David Moody to Henry Hunt, FOUR! Boom! This one is dished out just behind a good length, around off, Hunt is quick to pick it and pulls it powerfully to the deep mid-wicket fence. It's a good start for the Strikers.

Jason Behrendorff to Matthew Short, FOUR! Boundaries flowing here for Adelaide. A knuckle delivery, full and around off, Short waits for it as he leans forward and then pierces the gap at covers with his elegant drive.

Jason Behrendorff to Matthew Short, SIX! High and handsome! Fractionally short and around off, Matthew Short pulls it off his front foot and nails it in front of square leg for a biggie. Adelaide Strikers are making full use of the Powerplay, unlike Perth Scorchers.

Jason Behrendorff to Matthew Short, FOUR! Misfield! An attempted slower one, full and down the leg side, Matthew Short whips it behind square leg and it speeds away. The fielder in the deep makes a complete mess near the fence and lets it through. Poor, very poor.

4.3
Andrew Tye to Matthew Short, FOUR! Another boundary for the Strikers, sixth in total along with a maximum. Andrew Tye drags his length short and delivers it outside off, Short hangs on the back foot and powers his pull shot in front of square leg. No chance for the fielder in the deep. A nothing delivery, to be honest, from Tye.

Peter Hatzoglou to Matthew Short, OUT! Caught! A wicket against the run of play! Loopy and full around middle, Matthew Short advances down the track and goes through with his attempted flick shot aerially. It seems to be a neat hit but doesn't have enough to clear the mid-wicket fielder in the deep. Kurtis Patterson takes the simplest of catches and Perth Scorchers have a slight opening. 76 runs needed in 77 balls.

Lance Morris to Ian Cockbain, FOUR! Delightful! Fullish and on middle, Ian Cockbain presents the full face of his bat and creams it back past the bowler. The field is up and it's a boundary.

10.1
Aaron Hardie to Henry Hunt, OUT! Caught! A wicket immediately after the break, we have seen it so many times in this edition. Is there any twist in the tale? Full in length around off, angling in, Henry Hunt tries to heave it over the leg side but gets a top edge. The ball flies towards mid off and Andrew Tye settles underneath it. 50 needed off 59 balls.

10.6
Aaron Hardie to Ian Cockbain, FOUR! The call was for two but the end result is a boundary. Fullish and on middle, Ian Cockbain flicks it with nice timing through the gap at mid-wicket. The mid on fielder puts in a dive but fails to stop and after that, it's always a boundary. 44 needed more off 54 balls.

11.4
Lance Morris to Jonathan Wells, FOUR! Fullish and around leg, it's whipped through mid-wicket for a boundary.

12.5
Aaron Hardie to Jonathan Wells, OUT! Sound of timber! Three dots and a wicket. Jonathan Wells was struggling a bit and is gone now. 37 needed off 43 balls. Aaron Hardie delivers it on a length around off and gets it to shape back in off the seam. Jonathan Wells tries to defend it but it beats his bat, clips his pads and goes on to shatter the stumps. A sedate celebration from Perth Scorchers.

13.2
Ashton Turner to Ian Cockbain, FOUR! Nicely executed, beats the infield and beats the outfield as well. Tossed up around off, Ian Cockbain brings out the reverse sweep and unfurls it wide of backward point. It's placed perfectly to beat the fielders inside the ring and outside.

Aaron Hardie to Jake Weatherald, FOUR! Lovely shot! Fuller in length and around off, Jake Weatherald takes a step down the track and then leans into the drive. He thumps it with great timing through covers.
