BBL 06: Twitter Reacts As Perth Scorchers, Sydney Sixers Qualify For Semi-Finals

Two-time BBL champions Perth Scorchers qualified for BBL 06 semi-finals with a clinical seven-wicket victory over Hobart Hurricanes.

Needing 135 to win the match, the Perth Based-outfit romped to victory in the 14th over. The Scorchers began their chase poorly as Sam Whiteman was dismissed when the score was only 12 but a 82-run partnership between Michael Klinger (29) and Shaun Marsh (57) set the tone for an easy chase. Both batsmen were dismissed in quick succession but Adam Voges (20) and Ashton Turner (16) took the Scorchers home without any further hiccup.

Earlier, some disciplined bowling from Adam Voges’ men did not let the Hurricanes batsmen free their arms as they were reduced to a paltry 134. At 62 for 2 in the 10th over, the Hurricanes were looking well placed to get a good total, but four wickets inside 24 runs derailed their innings. Jonathan Wells (28) and Clive Rose (29) steadied the ship with an unbeaten 46-run partnership but could not score quick runs towards the end.

In another match, Sydney Sixers qualified for the semi-finals with a dramatic three-wicket win over Melbourne Stars.

Needing a win at all cost to qualify for the semis, the Sixers started poorly while chasing 157. They kept on losing wickets at regular intervals and were reduced to 97 for 6 in the 15th over, before a 59-run partnership off only 28 balls between Johan Botha (25 off 13) and Sean Abbott (33 off 17) took them home.

Earlier, the Stars fired on all cylinders as their openers Rob Quiney (35) and Luke Wright (62) added 59 off only 36 balls before the former was sent back by Moises Henriques. Another fifty-plus partnership between Wright and Kevin Pietersen (39) took the Melbourne-based outfit to 130 in the 16th over. However, they lost some quick wickets in the slog overs which did not give their innings the required impetus to post a huge total as they were reduced to 156.
