Perth Scorchers were on Friday crowned champions of the BBL 2021-22 after beating Sydney Sixers in the final in Melbourne. Defending a target of 172 runs in 20 overs, the Scorchers bundled out Sydney Sixers for 92 runs in the 17th over.
The Sixers started off the proceedings in a dismal manner after they lost an early wicket and couldn't really get back on track as they lost wickets at regular intervals to eventually get bowled out.
Earlier, the Scorchers too had a disappointing start to the innings as they were left tottering at 25/4 but a 104-run stand between Turner and Laurie Evans certainly turned fortunes for them.
Both the players scored individual fifties while Evans remained unbeaten at 76 off 41 during the course as Scorchers put 171/6 in 20 overs on the board.
