This team had a target of 148 runs to win and Melbourne registered victory just 2 balls before.

Melbourne won in the last over

After this, Rogers easily won the match for Melbourne by hitting a six and a four. Before this, Rodgers also took 2 wickets and hence this player was also given the Player of the Match award. Apart from Rodgers, Will Sutherland also took 2 wickets apart from scoring 70 runs. Adam Zampa also played a big role in Melbourne's victory, this leg spinner took 3 wickets for 27 runs.

Perth's superstar failed

Both these wickets were taken by Melbourne captain Will Sutherland. Aaron Hardy was dismissed by Tom Rodgers. Cooper Connolly also became a victim of Rodgers. Captain Turner could also score only 8 runs. Ashton Agar, who came to bat at number 7, batted brilliantly and scored 51 runs in 30 balls and then Perth's team reached 147 runs.
