BBL also congratulated Marsh in a tweet.

Cameron Bancroft's 41 runs off 29 balls also helped Scorchers to post a massive total. A 100-run partnership between Bancroft and Marsh did not give Brisbane any chance to make a comeback in the match. 

In the second innings, Brisbane Heat started off well after Tom Banton gave his team a decent start. 

But despite maintaining a good run-rate, Brisbane Heat kept losing wickets.

Joe Burns and Ben Cutting tried to stabilize the innings but Heat's hopes died when Cutting was dismissed after getting caught by Tim David. 

The remaining batsmen fell like ninepins and the innings ended with 179 runs for the loss of eight wickets with Tom Banton top-scoring with 55 runs. Joe Burns scored 37 runs. 

Perth Scorchers's bowlers Jhye Richardson, Joel Paris, and Chris Jordan managed to take 2 wickets apiece and help their team defend the total. 

Mitchell Marsh was declared 'Player of the Match' for his brilliant knock

Final Scores:

Perth Scorchers: 213/3

Brisbane Heats: 179/8

Perth Scorchers are fifth in the points table with eight points, Brisbane Heat are just above Perth Scorchers with equal points, but they are ahead due to the net run rate.
