Melbourne Stars vs Perth Scorchers, 7th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

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. After being put into bat, Stars never got going and kept losing wickets at regular intervals. The highest partnership they had was just 28, while Cartwright top-scored with 24. Scorchers were superb with the ball, led by the two quicks upfront - Behrendorff and Richardson. McKenzie, the leggie, then followed up beautifully through the middle overs with a spell of 2/12 in his four overs. They restricted the Stars to just 101, and chased it down pretty comfortably with more than 6 overs to spare.
