length on middle and and what a way to finish things off. That hung high up in the air forever but also had more than enough distance and that's the win for the Heat
Scorchers vs Heat, 48th Match at Brisbane, Feb 01 2019, Big Bash League
Heat won by 6 wickets (with 15 balls remaining)
That's all from us. Thanks for joining and see you soon
With the win tonight, the Heat have actually kept alive a theoretical chance to progress. They have to win their remaining matches, hope that the Melbourne Stars lose their remaining matches and also need some other results to go their way.
Lynn: Can't really put a finger on it, know we can't progress but good to have a win. The guys were exceptional with the ball, especially Kuhnemann, on debut, bowling in the powerplay. I wanted to make sure we didn't make the same mistake as we did a week ago in Melbourne.
10.35pm And the Heat manage to keep their noses ahead of the Scorchers in the battle of the backbenchers with an emphatic six wicket win. Furthermore, they give something to the home crowd to cheer about with their first win at the Gabba this season. Chris Lynn led the way with some monstrous hits over the fence but was largely measured in the way he went about the chase, holding fort as the others batted around him.
length outside off, slapped past point but straight to third-man
length, angled in, and he steers it audaciously late over the keeper
full toss on leg stump, pushed to deep squareleg with soft hands, they turn around for the second and a better throw might have had him. Instead, it's Lynn's fifty off just 38 balls
full outside leg and he somehow manages to reverse sweep it along the ground to deep cover
length on middle, shuffles across and defends to midwicket
full outside off, inviting the drive and the batsman obliges, pushing it wide off long-off
length on off, pushed back to the bowler
full on off, reverse sweep, connects well but straight to short third-man
full toss, angled in from wide off the crease, pushed to long-on
knocked him over!. Excellent yorker, tails back in and he can't jam his bat down on it in time.
full on middle and that's come out of nowhere!. Just an extension of defence, bit of a check-drive and the timing carries it over the fence with ease
full outside off, crunched to the right of deep cover
full outside off, defended to point
length and drifting in to the pads, clipped to deep squareleg
length on middle, lunges forward and pushes it to midwicket
length on middle, spinning back in, the batsman is struck on the front pad but missing leg
full toss on off, pushed to deep cover
length on middle, shuffles across and pushes it to midwicket
dez: "I full agree that BBL08 has been mediocre. However i don't get why people are talking about it being too long - IPL 2018 was 50 days long, BBL08 is 60, which whilst it's 10 days longer that includes days off for Christmas day & during Australian ODI's/Tests!!"
