Heat vs Stars, 19th Match at Brisbane, BBL, Jan 01 2025 - Match Result

Full toss has been wristily whipped behind square and Stars are off the mark in BBL 2024

Cartwright tries to whack it across, misses. Power Surge must now be taken. The ball was around a back of length, just down leg; the batter wanted a bit more room than he had to lift a pull square of the wicket

Length on off, worked off the back foot to deep fine leg. Fielder hurries in a throw, but the batters don't risk trying a second

Pitched up on the pads, pushed through midwicket. Edge of the ring to bring it to two needed off the last ball

Appeal for caught behind but that seemed to have come off the grille. Was a bumper angled in, Cartwright swivelled on the pull, wanted to go square or behind

Full down leg, the full ball goes past the flick

Heaved... excellent catch by Renshaw. He moved to the right from midwicket, flung himself close to the ground. Took it with both hands while hovering. Was a shortish ball around off that was pulled after making toom

Top edges a slashed cut straight to deep third. On a length, wide and he went as hard as he could. Stoinis can't clear the game but has effectively done it

Chipped over the bowler with a delightful flat-bat punch. He was charging too and cut the angle plus pace with ease. Mid-on and mid-off, whom it went over, were in

Slottesque but Stoinis goes too hard while trying to hit it across the line. Gets a single for his trouble

Bumper is over leg. Very high too. Let go

Should be out... placement works out for Lawrence. A touch short and he tried to swipe it across the line. A pull off the top edge took it far enough behind that the keeper wasn't in contentio

Makes room and flays the full ball over cover. It wasn't middled by any means but the outfield gave the ball extra speed to make it through easily

Shortish over off, 138ks, Lawrence cleared the front foot and went hard. Only got a bottom edge to long-on. No-ball check. All good

On the fuller side of length, heaves it across to midwicket

And again, this time he brings up fifty too. Stars could just take the powerplay and try boosting their NRR. This ball was length but was turned into a full one, another high-flourish drive. Bartlett had turned halfway back while tr

Lawrence takes on long-on... and manages to clear him. Dances down and swung freely. An on drive with full extension. Bartlett, the fielder, backtracked and jumped just inside the ropes but couldn't get hands on it

Touch risky that single even though Kuhnemann was charging to his right, but the batters were quick. Was a length ball darted at the pad worked off the back foot

This time it's more a diagonal-bat shot. Slaps it through extra. Along the ground, two more.

Makes loads of room and belts it through long-off
