PERTH Scorchers’ 19-year-old Cooper Connolly smashed an unbeaten 25 to see his side over the line in a nail-biting five-wicket win against Brisbane Heat to retain their crown in the Big Bash League (BBL) season decider at Perth Stadium yesterday.
The fifth-ranked Heat, who performed valiantly throughout the finals series, posted 175-7 from 20 overs after opting to bat, but the reigning champions proved too strong and worked their way to 178-5 with four balls remaining.
Perth Scorchers extended their BBL dominance to five titles from 12 editions.
