Josh Inglis and skipper Ashton Turner now had the responsibility to bring them back on track. They were slow to get off the tracks but once they went after the bowlers, it rained sixes and fours. Turner scored a stunning half-century and was well supported by Inglis who waited for his time.

The pair stitched an invaluable partnership and were on course to help Perth lift back-to-back BBL titles. Perth needed 46 runs in the final four overs. This is when Inglis decided to change gears but his plans didn’t work as Bartlett managed to dismiss him for 26 off 22. In the 17th over of the game the tide turned in favor of Brisbane Heat, they lost Inglis and in a few balls time, Turner was run-out.

Connoly and Hobson now had a big task in their hand. Connoly smoked a few biggies and was on 19 off 7 balls in no time. They needed 20 runs off 12 balls. It went write down to wire as 10 runs were needed off the 5 balls. Hobson joined the party at the right time with a biggie and a four in the final over to hand the title to Perth Scorchers.
