Perth Scorchers’ scintillating form continued in the ongoing Big Bash League (BBL) as they demolished Hobart Hurricanes by 9 wickets at Optus Stadium on Tuesday.
The all-English duo of Jason Roy and Liam Livingstone at the top of the order made a mockery of the 140-run target by adding 123 runs for t𝄹he opening wicket.
In particular, Roy was explosive with the bat, smashing an unbeaten 74 in a classy ‘Player of the Match’ knock which was laced with seven fours and three sixes.
Livingsto⛄ne scored his first half-century of ⭕the season, a 39-ball 54 to be the perfect foil for his opening partner.
After opting to bat first, Hurricanes’ D’Arcy Short (54) and Tim David (31 not out) attemp🐠ted to get them going, but a superb𝓀 bowling performance throughout the innings from Scorchers meant the visitors could only post 139/5 on the board.
Roy’s innovative shot
In the 12th over of Scorchers’ innings, Roy scooped a Scott Boland delivery frಞom the off-side to deep backward for a maximum.
The batsman seemed to be unaware of the fielder near the boundary and, therefore, shouted ‘Oh No’ soon after hitting the ball.
"Oh no!" 🤭 Jason Roy might not have seen fine-leg deep… but put it over his head anyway!
