A spectacular knock by Laurie Evans propelled the Perth Scorchers to claim a record fourth Big Bash League title on Friday, defeating Sydney Sixers by 79 runs in the final at Melbourne's Docklands Stadium.

"We're just so appreciative that everyone was able to come together and we were able to make this tournament happen, and we were able to get to the end of it," Scorchers captain Ashton Turner said during the presentation ceremony. A 104-run partnership between Evans, whose 41-ball knock included four sixes, and Turner restored order to the innings.

Batsman Daniel Hughes, returning from an ankle injury but still visibly restricted, top-scored with 42 before being run-out by Marsh, triggering a collapse which resulted in the side being bowled out for 92.
