Hobart Hurricanes vs Brisbane Heat
With this late surge, the Brisbane Heat were able to extend their winning streak to three straight games and remain in the playoff race. It was a good team effort from the side as they battled it out to win in their own backyard despite the odds. That's a treat for the crowd as well, just like this game, which was close throughout. The Heat may have felt they were slightly below average on this surface after posting 162-6 in the first innings. Their quickfire 41 from Matt Renshaw helped them reach that total, which their bowlers ultimately proved to be sufficient. With a few wickets in the powerplay, Michael Neser set things in motion by getting rid of McDermott and Crawley. Prior to Wade and Jewell guiding the Hurricanes to a respectable position, they were under some pressure at 14-2. To exert some pressure, the Heat spinners did well to encircle them in the middle.
Renshaw's three over spell, during which he also successfully dismissed Jewell, proved to be very useful. Bazley quickly caught Wade, putting an end to the Hobart run chase. Only 11 runs were off the two overs when the wheels fell off during the power surge, which ultimately left Tim David with too much work to do. The giant from Singapore fought bravely all the way to the finish, as he so often does. The Hurricanes were unable to be saved and cross the finish line thanks to his 27-ball-44. Spencer Johnson, who was also excellent for his 1/22, served as Michael Neser's admirable deputy as he oversaw this bowling attack.
With this victory, the Brisbane Heat move up to fifth place and put themselves in the running for a playoff spot. There are still a few games left in this season for the Hobart Hurricanes, so it's not the end of the road for them either. This final round of league games will feature many important outcomes and opportunities.
