That's it from us. Scorchers bank another important win on the road. Hurricanes have some thinking to do after a tough night with the ball. Thanks for your company.
Mitch Marsh is Player of the Match for his 102: "I've felt pretty good in the games I've missed out in. The key for me is sticking to my routines. I know what works for me to be mentally good to go. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a bit nervous tonight. You always want to contribute and get going in the tournament. Really nice to contribute to a win."
Tonka: "This is why Cricket has gone downhill. Marsh even agrees Hardie was stiff. 94 not out at S/R of 200 with 2 wickets from 3 overs."
10.36pm Scorchers win by 40 runs. They end a nine-game winning streak for Hurricanes at home. Brilliant batting from Mitchell Marsh and Aaron Hardie set it up and then an even contribution with the ball plus scoreboard pressure was too much for the hosts.
