BBL 2021-22 Final: Sydney Sixers in front after picking early wickets vs Perth Scorchers

Sydney Sixers had a brilliant start to the proceedings in the final of the BBL 2021-22 against Perth Scorchers after they got three early wickets. 

Jackson Bird first removed Kurtis Patterson for a 4-ball 1 and then Steve O Keefe got rid of Josh Inglis after he was stumped out by Lenton for 13 off 13.

Later, off-spinner Nathan Lyon scalped the priced wicket of Mitchell Marsh who played a tossed-up delivery from the bowler straight to Christian at long-on region. The side was left tottering at 20/3. 

Marsh's wicket was then followed by Munro's scalp who was caught at Point area by Bird while trying for the reverse sweep. He was undone for 1 off 5.

Earlier, the Perth Scorchers had defeated the Sydney Sixers in the Qualifier to register a berth in the final while Sydney defeated Adelaide Strikers in the Challenger to march ahead in the title clash. 

Perth Scorchers (Playing XI): Josh Inglis(w), Kurtis Patterson, Mitchell Marsh, Colin Munro, Ashton Turner(c), Laurie Evans, Ashton Agar, Jhye Richardson, Andrew Tye, Jason Behrendorff, Peter Hatzoglou

PSL 2022 | Measured Rizwan 50 earns Multan first points of the season

Multan Sultans chased down a meagre target of 125 runs to begin their title defence in style against Karachi Kings on Thursday, 27 January. Sultans captain Mohammad Rizwan, who has seen an incredible rise in his stocks in world cricket in the last year was once again the star of the show, scoring a classy half century to get his team over the line. While most batsmen found it difficult to play their shots on a Karachi track that gripped and turned in the first day of the tournament, Rizwan chose his big shots carefully to make the chase rather comfortable for the title holders. The Multan captain did ride his luck a couple of times though after he escaped a close DRS shout on the LBW and then a dropped catch at square leg. Rest of the Multan innings was fairly uneventful with the rest of the batsmen playing a couple of good shots but failing to convert their starts into a big score. With the target being really small, Multan were able to hang around and nudge it along the ground rather than attempting to clear the ropes on every single delivery. Earlier in the innings, Imran Tahir’s fabulous spell of 3/16 stifled Karachi and they were put into submission by the variety of the maestro. Barring Tahir, Shahnawaz Dahani too had a good outing against Karachi, who failed to hit boundaries and conceded a large chunk of doubt balls. At the end, the target was just not enough for the bowlers and Multan were able to chase the game down with ease. Click here for the full scorecard.
