Thanks for sticking with us folks. That's curtains to our coverage for this match but the cricket doesn't end for the day. Switch tabs and catch the live action from the Australia-South Africa World Cup semi-final. Rudransh and Bidipto will take your leave for now!
Beth Mooney has been adjudged the Player of the Match! Here is what she has to say.
Beth Mooney: It was an all-round Scorchers performance. We were pretty clinical today. The directive has been to bat and bat for as long as possible. The message has been quite clear and I am going about accordingly. It was nice for Maddy Darke to don the keeping gloves as I felt I needed a bit more recovery time after the batting innings. Wicketkeepers are pretty good in the field too and Amy Jones is showing that with her direct hits!
All over! Perth Scorchers take an emphatic win, thump Sixers by 61 runs!
End of a really clinical performance from the Scorchers. You couldn't have asked for anything more or less from them given the kind of tournament they've had. 189/6 was always going to be really big total to deal with but Sixers lacked the true intent (and luck) to manage it.
Make-shift opener Brown fell early. Perry and Gardner tried to shut shop and ended up getting too much pressure on themselves with dot balls that ended the latter's stay. Perry carried on for a bit, timing the ball as well as she ever has and for a moment it looked like she'll get the support of Burns.
But back-to-back runouts from Scorchers sent them both back, in a perfect reply to Sixers' excellent fielding in the first innings. Tyron and Bates put up a mini fight but Cleary, who looked in excellent touch, struck again to break that last hope as well. Ainsworth just finished things off after that.
19.3 Amy Edgar to Kate Peterson, AND THAT IS THAT! PERTH SCORCHERS WOMEN GET THE JOB DONE! Good length ball around off-stump. Peterson went across to try and lap it over short fine-leg. She did connect but played it straight to short fine-leg on the full. The fielder there made no mistake whatsoever!
Kate Peterson c Beth Mooney b Amy Edgar 10 (13b, 1x4, 0x6)
