Scorchers win Australia’s Big Bash title

AFP, PERTH (AUSTRALIA): Michael Klinger smashed an unbeaten 71 off 49 balls to steer the Perth Scorchers to a crushing nine-wicket win over the Sydney Sixers in Australia’s Twenty20 Big Bash League final in Perth on Saturday.
Klinger hammered five fours and five sixes in the Scorchers’ 144 for one to easily overhaul the Sixers’ 141 for nine with 25 balls to spare.
It was the Scorchers’ third title in six BBL seasons in another dominant campaign.
Englishman Ian Bell was at the wicket with Klinger when the winning runs were hit and remained 31 not out off 25 balls.
“Some times the risks come off. 140 can be a tricky target,” Klinger said.
