Melbourne Stars vs Perth Scorchers, 50th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Jason Roy: Huge couple of days. Massive turnaround. Lovely feeling having got this fifty. After the start we had. we were down in the dumps. Takes a strong group to come back. We have shown great character in the change room. We've adapted really well. Winning the games at Perth, and then coming to different grounds and doing well has been satisfying.

22:39 Local Time, 11:39 GMT, 17:09 IST: Perth continue their good run and get more points which helps them to leap frog to the top of the table. Melbourne never got a steady start and the regular loss of wickets didn't help. Losing Stoinis early also proved detrimental. Jason Roy's blitzkrieg at the top of the order set it up for Perth and they encashed on it getting to that comfortable zone of 180 mark. Larkins got a fifty for Melbourne but didn't get a supporting hand from the other end. We are done with game number 50. Melbourne need to be a bit careful as they have slipped to fifth in the points table after this loss. With only a few games left, every game will see tectonic shifts in the points table. As the action rolls along, we will keep you updated!
