Smith's unbeaten 121 sets up Sixers win in Big Bash
Steve Smith made an unbeaten 121 from 64 balls to set up Sydney Sixers' 14-run win over Perth Scorchers in the Big Bash.
Smith, who was playing his first game in this year's tournament, reached his century off 58 balls, before hitting three sixes in the final over as Sixers posted 220-3.
It is his third century in the Big Bash and the 35-year-old now averages nearly 100 in his past eight innings in the competition.
In reply Scorchers were reduced to 97-4 and 128-6 but an unbeaten 66 from captain Ashton Turner gave them some hope.
They were ultimately left with too much to do and finished on 206-7. They remain fifth, outside the knockout spots.
Sixers climb to the top of the table and one more win would secure their progression.
