11:44 AM IST Melbourne Stars did not have a huge score to defend but they did put in the fight and were in the game till the halfway mark of the chase. All of their bowlers except for Hamish McKenzie snapped a wicket each with Tom Curran being the most successful of them. Earlier in the day, the Stars could only manage 146 after batting first with contributions from Marcus Stoinis, Tom Curran, and Beau Webster while the rest struggled. The Stars will look to improve on their effort in the next game and hope for a better result while the Perth Scorchers will look to keep the momentum.

11:41 AM IST A comprehensive run chase from the Perth Scorchers helps them defeat the Melbourne Stars in the season opener of the 2024-25 season. Chasing a modest score of 147 for the win, the Scorchers were struggling at 37/3 in the fifth over with all their overseas batters back in the hut. Young Cooper Connolly and Ashton Turner stepped up and added a crucial 68 for the fourth wicket to set up the chase. Cooper Connolly was dismissed for a well-made 64 but Turner carried on and a quick cameo from Nick Hobson did the job with ease at the end for the home side.
