SCORECARD

Lance Morris (2/21) and Andrew Tye (2/30) made Hurricanes regret the decision of batting first as they took some early wickets to apply pressure.

That was the story of the innings for Hurricanes unfortunately, Tom Andrews (27) and Nathan Ellis (24) adding some runs as it went on.

Scorchers innings started in similar fashion as both openers were gone within 2 overs.

However, it was Aaron Hardie (90*) who came to the rescue, with a sensational 13 Fours on his way to a huge half century.
