Game over! Launched over long on against the spin! Are you kidding!
Heat won by 10 wickets (with 60 balls remaining)
Brisbane Heat win by 10 wickets with 10 overs to spare! That was staggering viewing. Some of the best hitting you will ever see. Bryant and Cutting destroyed the Stars. They struck 13 sixes between them. Simply stunning. That keeps the Heat's season alive. The Stars now must win their last home game against the Sixers on Sunday to make the semi-finals. The Heat's net run-rate gets a huge boost. That makes things tough for Sydney Thunder. They now must win against Hobart Hurricanes tomorrow night and do it well enough to stay ahead of the Heat on net run-rate. Then it will all come down to the Stars Sixers in Sunday for the last semi-final spot. Amazing result. Here is the updated BBL table including this result. Ben Cutting is Player of the Match for his 81 from 30 balls. That's it from the Gabba. What a spectacle. Join us tomorrow for the double header, Adelaide host Perth with both teams playing for pride. Sydney Thunder must beat the Hurricanes at Manuka to stay alive. Thanks for your company tonight.
Partheeban: "Ben Cutting, the underrated player! Watched couple of pressure innings in IPL and I like his calm personality and not smiling attitude when he is serious!!"
shorter leg break, he's back and cutting to deep point
mis-hits a wrong un over long on! He picked it but it spun a bit more than expected, swung hard and got enough of it to carry over the fence!
wrong un does him all ends up! Beats the inside edge and just misses leg stump. Well bowled
hammers a pull shot over wide long on into the crowd! Wow! Short drag down, he was back and flat batting this miles!
leg break on leg, he pushes on the front foot to midwicket for a single
Ayush Shah: "I switched on this match live on my mobile while working in office just to watch Baz batting one last time at Gabba. But after 8 overs,the way these 2 are batting, I'm not disappointed to see him still in dugout."
wide yorker, he gets thick inside edge onto pad
full toss on off, he heaves this along the ground to deep midwicket
full toss wide of off, just on the guideline but called! Tough call
Maddinson parries it over for six at deep midwicket! This was a slower ball, he swung hard, got under it and hit a towering skier to the rope, Maddinson was unsure of the rope and whether Maxwell was coming, he tried to catch it but parried it over the rope!
full toss wide of off, he plays a helicopter slice behind point and the sweeper has to come around from deep point
full toss outside off, he swings hard and drags it to short fine and a misfield allows two
slower ball dragged too wide of off stump
shorter slower ball outside off, he mistimes a cut towards point
Bravo on
Dikshit Chhabra: "Wade and Short, Who????????"
shorter length on off, he's back and punching back to the bowler. Maxwell applauds the dot ball loudly with a smile
tossed up outside off, he drives firmly to long off
dropped by Gotch at deep midwicket! This was slogged high to deep midwicket, Gotch got under it but wasn't settled and he slipped slightly as it went through his hands and bounced off his chest
Pradeep: "Is that the record for the fastest BBL fifty from Cutting?" Second. Chris Gayle made one off 12 balls
short and wide leg break, he's back and hammering a cut past cover, big chase for deep point and they are able to run three
wrong un, short and wide, he cuts hard to deep cover-point
leg break on off, he pushes from the crease to long on
Sandeep on now. But the Heat only need 42 from 78 balls
