Match View
The Heat's bowlers put them in a favorable position by restricting the Hurricanes to a low target for their batters to chase to win, and the Hurricanes did just that, to keep their playoff aspirations alive.
Brisbane Heat won the toss and decided to field. Michael Neser taking 4 wickets, including 2 in the last over. The Heat bowling attack did well today with every bowler taking at least one wicket. Johnson took 2 wickets, Bazley, Kuhnemann, and Swepson each took one. Labuschagne made two difficult catches like a superhero, while Renshaw and Kuhnemann each took 2 catches as well.
Ben McDermott stood out as the notable batter for the Hurricanes, leading the innings with a half-century. Despite the fast-paced nature of his run-a-ball innings, it helped his team reach a respectable total. Jewell began the innings well but was unable to maintain the strong start he had.
In the run chase, the Hurricanes' bowlers were awesome resticting the Heat batters to just 118/8, to win by 2 runs.
