9.20 pm From 25 for 4, incredible partnership by Turner and Evans flips the match in the favor of the Scorchers. They've been kings of defending low totals, and 171 is anything but a low total. Sixers fought back against the odds with a slew of injuries just to make the final. Can they buck the odds again here against the Scorchers in improbable fashion to make it a BBL three-peat? Stay tuned for the start of the reply when Andrew McGlashan will be back in the central commentary position.

Kerr to Agar, OUT, clumsy dismissal for Agar. Kerry is searching for yorker and misfires badly with a full toss that thuds into Agar on the knee roll in front of middle. Kerr can't believe his luck that Agar has swung over the top of this ball and appeals with the umpire upholding the shout fairly quickly. Agar walks off crestfallen, not at the decision but at the fact that he's missed a meat ball that should've sailed over the leg side rope for six.
