The Sydney Thunder's resurgence will stretch into the Big Bash League finals after Test sensation Sam Konstas hit his second T20 half-century in a 61-run defeat of the Perth Scorchers.
Konstas (53 runs off 42 balls) was the sole survivor of a top-order collapse before a cameo from defiant No.9 Tom Andrews (37 from 13) powered the Thunder to 7-158 on a turning ENGIE Stadium pitch.
