All the statistical highlights from Perth Scorchers’ big win over the Brisbane Heat on Saturday:

Perth Scorchers’ record total:

213/3 – The total of 213/3 by Perth Scorchers is the 3rd highest total by any team in the Big Bash League. The top two highest BBL totals came during the 2016-17 season match hosted by the Docklands where the Hurricanes made 223/8 during their successful chase of Melbourne Renegades’ total of 222/4.

Scorchers’ total of 203/7 against Adelaide Strikers in the 2013-14 season is their only other 200+ total in the Big Bash League.

392 – The aggregate of 392 in this match is the 10th highest in a Big Bash League game and the highest in a BBL match hosted by any venue in Perth. The 2013-14 match between Scorchers and Strikers at the WACA witnessed a total of 401 runs.

A record knock from Mitchell Marsh:

93* – Mitchell Marsh’s unbeaten 93 is now the highest individual score for the Scorchers in the BBL against Brisbane. The previous highest was 81 by Michael Klinger in the 2016-17 season.

226.82 – Marsh’s strike rate of 226.82 during his 41-ball 93 is the highest in a BBL inning of 40+ balls. Craig Simmons had an SR of 248.78 during his 41-ball 102 also for the Scorchers against the Adelaide Strikers in 2013-14.

Mitchell Marsh deals in sixes:

A tough day with the ball for Laughlin and Pattinson:

60 – The 60 runs conceded by Ben Laughlin are the joint-most by any player in a BBL match. Daniel Worrall also conceded 60 runs in his 4 overs while playing for the Melbourne Stars in the 2014-15 season against Hobart Hurricanes.
