Herschelle Gibbs fell early for six before Marsh and Marcus North (39 from 30) guided the Scorchers home.
Perth move to second on the ladder and the win further enhances their prospects of a semi-final berth with one game to go away to the Adelaide Strikers.
North did have two close LBW calls when on two (to Gurinder Sandhu) and 20 (to Scott Coyte) but survived both and then the pair got cracking as the pressure was released from the Thunder as they fell to a 12th straight BBL loss.
The Thunder were in trouble early slumping to 4-31 before Khawaja stood tall with some help from Mark Cosgrove (18 from 15) as the visitors limped to 113 from their 20 overs.
Bowling for the Scorchers, Jason Behrendorff delivered four straight overs at the start to take 2-16 and then Brad Hogg finished strongly, the veteran spinner claiming three last-over wickets to finish with 4-29 from his four overs.
