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

Hardie to Smith, out Lbw!! That's an excellent review. Hardie was up immediately but the umpire wasn't interested. Turner didn't need much convincing, it was Smith and he went up straightaway. Good length ball, straight at the stumps, Smith shuffles a bit and misses the flick, struck right in front of the stumps and the only thing saving him was the height, ball-tracker showed it to be hitting the leg-bail - all three reds. This is a big wicket as Smith is the in-form batter and has carried the Sixers since his arrival. Smith lbw b Hardie 24(13) [4s-3 6s-1]
