Sydney Thunder have outplayed the Scorchers here! They have beat the side by quite a margin and have surely outplayed the batters here! The wickets kept falling from the first over itself and the bowlers never stopped taking those wickets. It was one batter after another who was coming in and then heading back to the dug out! It was just Tye and Munro who kept it together and Munro, showing some character from his side as he gave all the fight he could, sadly it was just not enough as there was no support on the other end and all he could do was watch his mates head back to the dressing room from time to time. The Sydney Thunder players have had a stellar performance with the bat and the ball today and are closing to the top 4 here! The Scorchers with the first ever loss in this tournament and they will look to keep it that way until the end.
Thank you so much for tuning in for yet another BBL game. This is Pradeep and Pranav signing off. Until next time.
Sydney Thunder won by 34 runs
Sam Billings has been adjudged the Player of the Match for his stunning knock to get Thunder to 200!
Billings says, something I really want to do, I have been in the English squads, I have been in a lot of bubbles and I love playing for the Thunder, that's the kind of the performances that I want to keep repeating but Test cricket is the pinnacle. I'm really looking forward to build on the performance tonight and make it count in the future games.

19.6 Nathan McAndrew to Colin Munro, full delivery on the leg-stump line, Munro gets inside the line to drill it down to long-on for a single but it doesn't matter. Thunder the first team to defeat the Scorchers in this tournament as they go down by 34 runs and a much needed win for the Thunder this!
19.5 Nathan McAndrew to Jason Behrendorff, OH! Short delivery, hurries into Behrendorff who goes on the backfoot to pull but mistimes it around short fine-leg for a single.
19.5 Nathan McAndrew to Jason Behrendorff, WIDE! Change of pace, back of a length but strays it just down the leg-side as Behrendorff ducks under that one and a wide signaled by the Umpire!
19.4 Nathan McAndrew to Colin Munro, back of a length on the outside off, takes the pace off as Munro on the backfoot opens the blade to dab it around backward point for a quick single.

18.6 Chris Green to Colin Munro, full delivery on the outside off, Munro on the backfoot drills it down to long-off and they get only a single.
It looks like the Scorchers are losing this for sure! Munro being the ace of spades in this batting attack but surely it is a drop in the ocean that they had to fill!
18.4 Chris Green to Matthew Kelly, OUT! MILES UP IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! Good length delivery on the off-stump as Kelly dances down the track to launch it out of the ground but he's miscued it over the extra-cover region where there was almost a collision and made a mess of it but Jason Sangha had his eyes on the ball always and holds on to it.

18.4 Chris Green to Colin Munro, length delivery on the outside off, Munro goes down his knee to heave but mistimes it down to long-on region for another single.
18.3 Chris Green to Matthew Kelly, too full on the outside off, Kelly backs away and then had to reach for it as he drills it through the covers for a single.
18.2 Chris Green to Colin Munro, length delivery on the wide of off-stump, it was in the slot for Munro as he goes down his knee and slaps it through the covers for just a single.
18.1 Chris Green to Andrew Tye, OUT! PICKS OUT LONG-OFF AND DEPARTS! Low full toss on the wide of off-stump as Tye gets underneath that one and looks to power it over long-off but he doesn't get hold of it, the long-off fielder comes sliding into it and pouches, the entertaining inning from Tye comes to an end!
