Marsh was at his best as he led his side to victory

On a beautiful batting deck, a modest target of 135 was hardly going to set the cat among the pigeons for the Scorchers. Clive Rose produced a screamer to get rid of Sam Whiteman, but the Hurricanes were never allowed a foothold in the game.

Michael Klinger shepherded the Scorchers, but it was Shaun Marsh who took the bowling to the cleaners to register a thumping victory in their final encounter of the round robin. He racked up 57 runs that included seven 4s and two humungous 6s to humble the Hurricanes.

He peppered every corner of the ground with sheer ease and pushed the Scorchers not only to the semi-finals but also to the top of the table.
