Wicket. OUT! Run Out. Mahli Beardman to Mitchell Starc. Half volley, down leg side on the front foot driving, to long off for 1 run, fielded by Turner, by Beardman. That's the end of the first innings! The Sydney Sixers are all out for 132. Steve Smith got them off to a flying start, scoring 24 off just 13 balls. Josh Philippe and Moises Henriques tried to anchor the middle order, each contributing 24 runs, yet wickets kept falling at regular intervals. The Perth Scorchers bowlers were clinical, bowling in the right lengths, hitting their spots, and maintaining rhythm throughout. David Payne and Jhye Richardson were the stars with the ball, picking three wickets apiece. Can the Sixers defend 132, or will the Scorchers' batters chase it down and claim a record sixth BBL title? Here we go, the chase begins!
