11.01pm Comprehensive win for the Scorchers, who are through to the final, yet again. They've beaten the Heat by 49 runs (DLS method), which is a massive margin in an 18-over game. Gnasher will be back with you for the presentations.

"We've played a lot of good cricket," says Player of the Match Liam Livingstone. "Think we deserve to be there."

Ashton Turner: "It doesn't always happen like this but great when it does. I wasn't required to do much. I thought we were clinical tonight. To put on a performance like that is very pleasing. The way we approached the game was excellent, there were so many things going on during the week away from cricket. They [Sixers] are a quality team and we have a lot of respect for them. We'll have to come well prepared. We can't wait for Saturday night."

I'll wrap things up there for tonight. Thanks for joining us and we'll see you for the final in a couple of days.

17.6

Hardie to Swepson, FOUR, length on the stumps, he stays back and clubs it over the bowler's head to have some cheer at the finish, ending with a boundary

17.5

Hardie to Swepson, no run, fuller on leg stumps, takes the inside edge to short fine leg

17.4

Hardie to Swepson, no run, length on the stumps, clears his front leg and swings at it, doesn't connect

17.4

Hardie to Swepson, 1 wide, short ball again, but down legside

17.3

Hardie to Swepson, no run, Hardie didn't like that last shot, bangs it in short

17.2

Hardie to Swepson, FOUR, shot. Back of a length outside off and he punches on the up over extra cover

17.1

Hardie to Laughlin, 1 run, Tye drops it at mid-off just behind the bowler. He was actually running in from mid-on. Fuller on off, and he got the toe end to send it steepling up. Tye ran forward and called for it, then clanged it. Might not even have touched it

END OF OVER:
17 | 4 Runs 1 Wkt | BH: 140/9 (61 runs required from 6 balls, RR: 8.23, RRR: 61.00)

Ben Laughlin1 (2b)

Andrew Tye4-0-25-2
Aaron Hardie3-0-36-3

16.6

Tye to Laughlin, 1 run, fuller, goes for the big swing to cow corner but the ball trickles off the inside edge towards midwicket

16.5

Tye to Laughlin, no run, cut him in half. Back of a length and jagging into him while rising up, Laughlin had no idea about that, he was backing away and just dropped his hands while turning his head away. Brushed his shirt almost on the way to the keeper

16.5

Tye to Laughlin, 1 wide, a third bouncer, outside off, but this is a bit too short and will be called wide. The batsman did have a waft at it but was nowhere near it

16.4

Tye to Morkel, OUT, sharp bouncer does the trick. Banged in short of a length and rising up to home in on Morne's chin, he's in a tangle as he fends at it even as he's trying to arch back. The ball lobs up behind him for an easy keeper's catch

M Morkel c †Inglis b Tye 2 (4b 0x4 0x6) SR: 50.00

16.3

Tye to Morkel, no run, length on the stumps moving away, pushes it back to the bowler

16.2

Tye to Morkel, 2 runs, full on leg, calmly flicked off his toes through midwicket and gets pulled in just before the boundary line

16.1

Tye to Morkel, no run, length ball nips away off the seam, leaves Morne stuck to the crease and feeling for the ball outside off

65 needed off 12, so it's all about how much they can reduce the margin of defeat.
