11.30 pm Scorchers have been the form team of the tournament with or without Marsh. But how much more intimidating do they look with him to call on. They cruise to victory with eight balls to spare and send a message to the rest of the playoff field that they are the clear favorites to lift the title at the end of the campaign.

Dimkesh: "I don't think cricket has any player who resembles (by skill set) another player as much as Mitch Marsh resembles Jacques Kallis. Medium pacer who bats at number 3, holds anchor well, and bludgeons the ball equally well when needed to."

That's it for tonight's coverage. Come back tomorrow for the penultimate night of league play at BBL 11. I'm Peter Della Penna. Take care!
