PERTH : The Perth Scorchers managed to blunt an in-form Steve Smith and choke the Sydney Sixers on Saturday, advancing directly to the Big Bash League final by way of a seven-wicket victory at home.
The Scorchers opened their run chase in disastrous fashion, reduced to 22-3 after Sixers' seamer Sean Abbott repeatedly induced catching opportunities. Turner accelerated towards the end of the chase, bludgeoning nine fours and a six as he scripted a victory which delighted the strong crowd of 41,116.
Earlier, the Sixers had a shaky start themselves when pacer Jason Behrendorff delivered two wickets in the first three overs.
