Big Bash final

Super Scorchers win FIFTH BBL crown after teen starlet's epic blitz seals bonkers final.

And chaos erupted a couple of deliveries later when Nick Hobson barbecued his captain while running between the wickets, calling for two before stopping halfway down the pitch. During the knock, he also became the first Scorchers cricketer to score 2000 runs in their BBL career. Connolly arrived at the crease with his team needing 38 runs from 19 balls and embarked on a remarkable blitz. The Heat had suddenly lost 3-13 in 16 deliveries. The Heat could only muster 2-8 from their Power Surge. ](https://www.foxsports.com.au/cricket/domestic-cricket/big-bash/wont-want-to-see-that-again-scorchers-star-blasted-for-unforgivable-run-out/news-story/22a06f881e9cad70ebe46776820a8789) [Start your free trial now >](https://servedby.flashtalking.com/click/7/147292;5439998;50126;211;0/?ft_width=1&ft_height=1&gdpr=&gdpr_consent=&us_privacy=&url=https://kayosports.com.au?marketing=cricket&extcamp=fsaeditoriallinkcricket-edt-fsp-lnk-awr-grc-cri-kyo&channel=fsa&campaign=launch&voucher=) The final featured the largest crowd attendance for a West Australian cricket match in history and the fourth-biggest crowd in Big Bash cricket. Then in the penultimate over, Brown put down a regulation catch in the outfield to gift Hobson an extra life and send the Perth crowd into a frenzy. It was a horrific piece of cricket from the Scorchers, with Turner returning to the dugout for 53 (32). Bartlett broke the game-changing partnership in the 17th over, with Inglis chipping a cover drive to the boundary rider for 26 (22). In response, the Scorchers were 0-31 at the end of the Powerplay before a monumental brain fade from England international Stephen Eskinazi saw him sheepishly return to the sheds for 21 (19). Turner smacked 53 (32) in the middle overs before Connolly, a 19-year-old playing just his fourth BBL match, cracked an unbeaten 25 (11) at the death to guide the hosts to victory.
