Heat vs Thunder, 25th Match at Sydney, BBL, Jan 06 2020 - Ball by Ball Commentary
10.30pm Credit to the fans for sticking around. Heat batted first and then posted a total that needed Thunder to score at 15 per over in their chase. The rain breaks did not help either team too, but eventually, the difference between the two teams was Tom Banton's fifty - the second-fastest in BBL history. See you tomorrow for more BBL action. Till then, it's goodbye from us

slower ball, back of a length on off, and the attempted pull takes another top edge to the fine-leg fence

top edged to the fine leg boundary. Short on middle, and the attempted pull runs away to the fence
full, outside off and the attempted drive is sliced over point's head

10.10pm Thunder need another 55 runs in 17 balls to win. - this is after applying DLS. That means the target will be 77
10.06pm Some of the covers are coming off. Confirmed: It's going to be a 5-over game. Waiting for the DLS-revised total. Play will start at 10.14pm
Mark: "See my suggestion of a declaration wasn't so insane (ok it was slightly insane) "
Baskar: "This rain gives me joy in two ways. For the bush fire first and secondly I missed making Banton the captain in Fantasy."
James: "Any idea how long till its called off, wouldnt be long with losing 4 min an over?" -- Not too long.
10pm It's raining again. And we're going off. We need another 2.5 overs for it to be an official match. Hales and Ferguson were happy to leave the ground. The thing is, there's not too much time in hand. Not the first time this season that a Thunder game gets interrupted at an awkward time. Heavy cover on again
