The Scorchers innings was a thrill-a-minute ride, which saw two dramatic collapses, three outstanding cameos and a bowler being taken off the attack for bowling two full tosses over the waist. The home team found themselves at three for seven in the third over when Whiteman sprang into action in a manner vaguely reminiscent of Sanath jayasuriya, especially the pick up shots off his legs. He made a 44-ball 68 but then they lost another three for just five in the 15th over to be pegged back again. The Hurricanes, without Archer's overs after he was taken off, struggled to find the right lengths towards the end and were taken apart by Andrew Tye (12-ball 25) and Nathan Coulter-Nile's 15-ball 31, which included three sixes off Faulkner in the 20th over.
