The Australian bowler Mitchell Johnson produced one of the most outstanding bowling performances in Big Bash League history to lead the Perth Scorchers to a seven-wicket victory over the Melbourne Stars in Tuesday night's semi-final in Perth.
Johnson claimed two wickets in the first over of the match, before finishing with the astonishing figures of 3-3 from four overs as the Stars limped to 136-8.
In reply, the Scorchers cruised to 139-3 with 19 balls to spare, with the win securing the two-time champions a home final against either the Sydney Sixers or Brisbane Heat.
