Sydney Thunder 143 for 4 (Davies 58, Ross 41*) beat Perth Scorchers 142 for 9 (Turner 61, McAndrew 3-29) by six wickets

Thunder restricted the home side to 142 for 9 from their 20 overs, then chased down the target with three overs to spare.

Davies made 58 from 47 balls, including four fours and two sixes, leaving his side to get 29 from 31 balls when he holed out to mid-off.

Thunder were in trouble at 10 for 2 after two overs, with Richardson on a hat-trick after he dismissed overseas players Alex Hales and Rilee Rossouw for ducks.

But Davies joined Matthew Gilkes (32) at the crease, and the pair put on a crucial 67-run partnership from 52 balls.

Scorchers had got off to a poor start too, stumbling to 47 for 4 after 10 overs, but the visitors threw off their early struggles to move to 75 for 2 at the same point of their innings, needing 68 runs from the remaining 60 deliveries.

Chris Green, with 1 for 15 from four overs, was economical, while Nathan McAndrew (3 for 29 from four) removed danger man Turner as he accelerated toward the back end of the innings.
