[WATCH] BBL 2025-26: Laurie Evans shares hilarious Uber accident story with commentators | CricTracker

Evans was on a microphone as he spoke to the commentary panel involving Aaron Finch just as the second innings was about to get underway. At the urging of the other commentator, Evans told how he, Aaron Hardie, Mahli Beardman and Ashton Agar helped push the broken car from the middle of the road to the side.

Speaking of the match, Perth Scorchers bundled out the Thunder for just 131 in 17.3 overs, chasing a steep 203 for victory. Ashton Turner was named Player of the Match for his unbeaten knock of 99 runs, which came from just 41 balls and consisted of eight fours and as many sixes. Aaron Hardie and Cooper Connolly were the second highest scorers for the Scorchers with 28 apiece.

Aside from the Thunders’ top three, no other player could break the 20-point mark. The win against the David Warner-led side was the Scorchers’ second win this season. It came after two consecutive defeats, both times failing to defend their total.

The Scorchers will next take on defending champions Hobart Hurricanes at the Bellerive Oval in Hobart on January 1. The Hurricanes recently beat the Scorchers by four wickets with three deliveries to spare on December 26. Tim David, who was injured while batting and subsequently ruled out of the remainder of the BBL season, was the Player of the Match in that match.
