Melbourne Stars vs Perth Scorchers
Perth Scorchers won by 61 runs
The Perth Scorchers' superior bowling proved to be too much for the Melbourne Stars, despite their best efforts to keep pace from the outset. The hosts did manage to play some significant shots for fours and sixes. With their lengths and deft pace changes today, the spin twins Ashton Agar and Peter Hatzoglou made a big impression. With Jhye Richardson, Jason Behrendorff, and Andrew Tye leading the pace attack, the opposition's batting was particularly vulnerable to the pace attack's accurate lengths, which led to the pace attack's five wickets.
The Stars will be concerned going forward because Marcus Stoinis keeps losing. The batter who, if anyone, deserves to soon score runs—and big ones at that—is him. Beau Webster seemed impressive while it lasted, Joe Clarke made a strong start before faltering, and young Campbell Kellaway impressed when he kept his form with his stroke-play. The Scorchers' fielding and catching, which included stopping two sure-shot sixes and nearly stopping a third, as well as some excellent ground fielding in the outfield to save boundaries, were absolutely stunning. In addition, at least three catches appeared to be simple. Overall, even with a drop catch, the visitors today gave this department an outstanding performance.
Melbourne Stars - Hilton Cartwright, Joe Burns, Adam Zampa, Brody Couch, Joe Clarke, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Clint Hinchliffe, Liam Hatcher, Trent Boult, Glenn Maxwell, Nick Larkin, Marcus Stoinis, Luke Wood, Beau Webster.
