Perth Scorchers vs Sydney Sixers, Qualifier, Big Bash League 2025-26 - Player Highlights

Mitchell Starc to Hardie, out Caught by Josh Philippe!! Clear spike on UltraEdge and Hardie walks. He wastes a review. It's a slower short delivery outside off, Hardie was in two minds there, wanted to bail out of the pull, then belatedly plays a half-hearted shot, it kisses the under-edge of the bat and Josh Philippe dives forward to take the looping ball.
