Hobart Hurricanes v Perth Scorchers ? Big Bash League, 2012/13 ? Live Cricket Score and Match Update ? Simon Katich propels Scorchers to 152

Amidst the frequent fall of wickets, a vital half-ton from Perth Scorchers? skipper Simon Katich emerged as a ray of light for the team, and enabled them to set the Hobart Hurricanes a target of 153, in their ongoing Big Bash League match, currently being played at the Bellerive Oval in Hobart, today on January 1.

The match kicked off with the Scorchers winning the toss and choosing to bat first. The Hurricanes? Ben Laughlin (4-0-19-3) and Evan Gulbis (4-0-38-2), assisted by Xavier Doherty and Doug Bollinger (both of whom picked up one wicket each), managed to ensure that only three of the Scorchers? batsmen exceeded single digits. However, skipper Katich made his contribution count, and got his team up to a fighting final total of 152 for 8 by the end of 20 overs.

Herschelle Gibbs and Shaun Marsh opened the innings for the visitors, but both batsmen were unable to apply themselves at the crease. Gibbs made an early exit on duck, in the very first over off Doherty, while Marsh was bowled by Bollinger in the 4^th over after a 5-run contribution, leaving his team at 10 for 2.

Katich, however, led from the front with a solid 66 off 41, including 4 sixes and 5 fours, and set up a 69-run third-wicket stand with Marcus North (28), which steadied the team to a great degree.

North was dismissed in the 12^th over off Laughlin, but Katich powered on, and established a 64-run partnership with Adam Voges (35), which got the team total into triple figures. The Scorchers had reached 143 when Laughlin struck once again in the 19^th over, and took Both Voges and Katich out of the game.

The fourth delivery of the final over resulted in the dismissals of both wicketkeeper batsman Tom Triffitt (1) and Alfonso Thomas (0), with the former caught out by George Bailey off Gulbis, and the latter run out. Nathan-Coulter Nile (5) was picked up by Gulbis on the final ball of the last over as his second wicket of the day, and the Scorchers ended by posting a final total of 152 for 8 by the end of 20 overs.
