So another poor performance from Melbourne Stars who've suffered crushing defeats in both their matches so far. They'll need to be a lot better than this. Perth Scorchers, meanwhile, were very impressive today after their first match was abandoned. So that's it from us here. See you next time.
Hamish McKenzie | Player of the Match: It's pretty surreal. Don't really have many words. The whole week has been a bit of a dream come true. Nice cherry on top this night. It was pretty annoying (Perth's previous match). I came through WA, pretty much just played grade cricket for my local club, was lucky to get a contract with WA a couple of years ago and then got a Scorchers one last year. I had an injury last year, so didn't get to play, now good to go. Been bowling leggies, used to bat a bit more but pretty keen with my leggies. Christmas and New Year in Perth, that'll be good.
21:58 Local Time, 10:58 GMT, 16:28 IST: Crushing win for the Perth Scorchers here at the MCG! Stars were just no match for them today.
