Scorecard | Points Table
The spectators who had braved the scorching sun to witness the Trans-Tasman clash at Sawai Mansingh Stadium were in for some good entertainment with Broom and Ryan ten Doeschate (66) indulging in some big hitting.
On a September afternoon with the mercury rising, it's not easy for an overseas team to beat the heat, but the Doeschate-Broom partnership ensured that the Volts were on course right from the start.
The Kiwi-Dutch pair built a 128-run partnership for the fourth wicket to take the Brendon McCullum led-side to 242-4, a tournament record. In reply, the Scorchers reached 180-6, with Hilton Cartwright remaining unbeaten on 73. For Volts, Ian Butler scalped 3-47.
Broom, whose 117 came off 56 balls, kept it simple right from the start. Opening the innings with Hamish Rutherford, he initially kept the scoreboard ticking, while Doeschate went for the shots.
After Behrendorff dismissed the Dutch batsman, Broom ensured Volts didn't lose power. A baby-cradle dance after reaching the century, said it all. Broom was loving it!
After the Broom storm, it was necessary for the Simon Katich-led side to get off to a flying start but the top-order fell cheaply, making the job easier for the Volts.
Chasing a target of 243, the Scorchers brought in young Ashton Agar (10) to open the innings with captain Simon Katich (0). But on a day when nothing was working for them, the move backfired.
