The Scorchers win by six wickets with 14 balls to spare. That was a clinical chase. Ashton Turner closed that out magnificently after an excellent half-century from Cameron Bancroft. Turner has been exceptional in this season and he keeps his team alive in the tournament. But the game was set up with the ball. Andrew Tye is Player of the Match for his 4 for 18 from four overs. Usman Qadir was excellent with the ball as well. The Scorchers now head home to face the Sydney Sixers on Sunday. The Stars need to regroup ahead of a clash with the Adelaide Strikers on Friday. Thanks for your company tonight from the MCG. Until next time, goodbye.

Matt: "Said during the Stars innings that Turner would chase them down on his own - low and behold! One of the top T20 finishers around, hope he gets a chance in the IPL with RR" Good call Matt. He's a gun
