Hobart Hurricanes v Perth Scorchers – Big Bash League, 2012/13 – Live Cricket Score and Match Update – Simon Katich propels Scorchers to 152
Amidst the frequent fall of wickets, a vital half-ton from Perth Scorchers’ skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SM-Katich-c2543 emerged as a ray of light for the team, and enabled them to set the Hobart Hurricanes a target of 153, in their ongoing Big Bash League match, currently being
played at the Bellerive Oval in Hobart, today on January 1.
The match kicked off with the Scorchers winning the toss and choosing to bat first. The Hurricanes’ http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DE-Bollinger-c1348 (both of whom picked up one wicket each), managed to ensure
that only three of the Scorchers’ batsmen exceeded single digits. However, skipper Katich made his contribution count, and got his team up to a fighting final total of 152 for 8 by the end of 20 overs.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Simon-James-Marshall-c90362 was bowled by Bollinger in the 4th
over after a 5-run contribution, leaving his team at 10 for 2.
Katich, however, led from the front with a solid 66 off 41, including 4 sixes and 5 fours, and set up a 69-run third-wicket stand with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MJ-North-c1982 (28), which steadied the team to a great degree.
North was dismissed in the 12th over off Laughlin, but Katich powered on, and established a 64-run partnership with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Adam-Voges-c925 (35), which got the team total into triple figures. The Scorchers had reached 143 when Laughlin struck once again in
the 19th over, and took Both Voges and Katich out of the game.
The fourth delivery of the final over resulted in the dismissals of both wicketkeeper batsman Tom Triffitt (1) and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/George-Bailey-c1480 off Gulbis, and the latter run out. Nathan-Coulter Nile (5) was picked up by
Gulbis on the final ball of the last over as his second wicket of the day, and the Scorchers ended by posting a final total of 152 for 8 by the end of 20 overs.
