Renegades vs Heat, 10th Match at Melbourne, BBL 2023, Dec 21 2023 - Match Result

Seals the deal! thick outside edge flies away over point and that's the winning runs! Brisbane Heat cruise through the victory and chase it down rather comfortably in the end with 11 balls to spare after an early stutter in the powerplay

tossed up fuller, he arches out and calmly, patiently, stoically caresses it down to long on, he's not in a rush to finish the game

tossed up on middle, worked off the pads towards midwicket

dangles a legbreak on middle, smears it down to wide long on and they come back for the second

makes room and pushes it down to long off for a run

tosses up and lands it outside leg stump, he goes for the slog sweep but can't connect

tossed up on middle, creates room and plays a textbook straight off drive over long off, perfect blend of timing, placement and that has to be the shot of the day

floated up on a length around middle and leg, nudged off the pads towards midwicket for a run

and that will do very nicely for Heat! dragged down and splatted way over deep midwicket for half-a-dozen runs. Clean as a whistle. fraction short and he seizes on the opportunity, tonking it over cow corner region and getting the desired result

searching for the yorker but the execution is not quite right, ends up gifting a juicy low full toss on the pads, he munches it and flicks it away to backward square boundary, the moment I started praising him, he starts leaking boundaries!

back of a length around the line off, steps to the leg side to open up the off side, smashes Richardson over deep cover for a blistering boundary, there's nobody in the deep to stop that, excellent shot, brilliant awareness of the field and using the gaps really well. He has got a good head on his shoulders and looks like he's keen on taking them over the line. Richardson losing the plot here, he will have to do something different, he's picking the slow balls well

Short of a length, curling away outside off, play and a miss

short on the body, pulls it away effortlessly over deep square for a 66 meters flat six, 27 off 22 balls required, a timely six. that was spanked with insolence

brute of a delivery, he is a master of his craft, using his variations to great effect, short of a length, angling across off, tries to slaughter that across the line but can't connect

oh, nearly another botch-up! flings it on a full length, good yorker, keeps it out to cover, shy at the striker's end, direct hit would have been very close, risky single

back of a length, zipping away outside off, jabbed away past the diving fielder at point and scurries through a run, can they finish the over with a boundary?

8.67 required run-rate. bit short and wide, cracked away past point for a much-needed boundary, off-cutter picked early and panned to the rope, pressure is slightly off with this timely boundary

flips it on a shortish length, slanting it across off, plays a solid late cut but it goes straight to point who hunts it down quickly

flung down on a short length, angling across off, goes for a wild hack but can't execute the late cut, good pace and carry

pulls his length back, slightly leg sidish, goes for a whippy pull behind square on the leg side, gets a couple
