Munro and Marsh make it six out of six for Perth Scorchers

Report

Mills, Behrendorff and Agar also put in starring roles as Melbourne Renegades are brushed aside

Perth Scorchers 2 for 152 (Munro 58*, Marsh 42*, Maddinson 1-5) beat Melbourne Renegades 8 for 151 (Harvey 45, Behrendorff 2-19, Mills 2-36, Agar 2-38) by eight wickets

All-conquering Perth Scorchers continued to march through this BBL season after once again defeating Melbourne Renegades at Marvel Stadium.

Having defeated Renegades by 21 runs at the same venue just four days ago, Scorchers were even more clinical in their sixth straight victory. They restricted Renegades with a stifling effort with the ball before cruising in their chase as Mitchell Marsh continued his purple patch.

The game was shifted from Optus Stadium in Perth due to Western Australia’s strict Covid-19 border controls, which has anchored Scorchers permanently on the road.
