Laurie Evans smashed an unbeaten 76 off 41 balls to help blast Perth Scorchers past the Sydney Sixers to their fourth title in Australia’s Big Bash final in Melbourne. His fireworks propelled Perth to 171 for six off their 20 overs with Sydney all out for 92 from 16.2 overs in reply for a 79-run win. It was revenge for the Scorchers who were beaten by their arch-rivals in the decider last season.
