Scorchers vs Thunder, 34th Match at Perth, BBL, Jan 09 2021 - Match Result
Great win for the Scorchers. They get another home game on Tuesday and they can set their season up. The Thunder will regain Daniel Sams for the Sydney Derby in Canberra but they will take heart from running the Scorchers so close despite not playing anywhere near their best.
Thanks for your company. Join us again tomorrow as the Heat host the Sixers on the Gold Coast.
Ashton Turner: "The Thunder to their credit really challenged us and we had to go plan B and C at times. But it's nice to walk off a winner. We know Richo is a superstar. We're not surprised by his performances. He's coming back from shoulder surgery and we know his best is international quality."
