A Kurtis Patterson half-century and some sensational bowling from Matthew Kelly was enough to see Perth Scorchers to a 6 run win today at the Perth Stadium, Perth.

Match Summary

Perth Scorchers vs Brisbane Heat, 5th Match, Big Bash League

Perth Scorchers 157/6 (20 ov)

Brisbane Heat 151/10 (19.5 ov)

Result - Perth Scorchers won by 6 runs.

Scorecard

Perth Scorchers won the toss and elected to bat first, Colin Munro going early, maybe worrying Scorcher fans at home. That worry probably wouldn't have lasted long though as Kurtis Patterson (55) smashed a half-century to put them back on track. Then joined by Laurie Evans (33*) and Ashton Turner (28) to put them in a good position heading into the break.

The Brisbane Heat innings started similarly, with Max Bryant going early, leaving his opening partner Chris Lynn (27) to shoulder responsibilities. Sam Heazlett (34) joined him later in the innings to chip in more runs but it looked like it would be a close affair.

Enter Matthew Kelly (4/28), who managed to finish off Brisbane Heat run chase and see the Scorchers to a 6 run win.
