Heat vs Thunder, 7th Match at Canberra, BBL, Dec 14 2020 - Match Result

Inside out over extra cover, and Thunder have won by a landslide! An utter meltdown from Heat, and what a response from Sams! In the slot for a free swing through the line, and he nailed it again!

back of a length, same result! Hammered, up up and away, onto the grass banks at cow corner where there's an utter frenzy to gather these freebies!

another full toss, and Sams slams another six for his fifty! Just 23 balls, and that's another horror ball from Laughlin. Outside off, juicily in the arc, and munched!

well bowled again, a yorker outside off, Sams can't lay bat on it as he attempts a steer through third man

full and straight, so near to the base of leg, Sams walks across his stumps so he gets away with the wide. Well bowled

oh my, that's a terrible freebie! Surely an attempted yorker, but Laughlin spears in the beamer, and gets dispatched over square leg for his sins... that could have changed the game...

a violent drive back through the line, and a deflection off the shins! Probably saved another boundary

crucial boundary! Just enough length to work with, and clubbed through long-off!

slower ball, clever response, another cutter, and this one hops over the bails where Cutting's found its target. Green's wipe was through too soon

Heat from the Heat! A seriously sharp short ball first-up, and Green misses on his pull... didn't so much miss in fact as Steketee hit! Flush on the arm

gottim! Steketee responds with a perfect length offcutter, slapping the top of middle as Cutting swings across the line. And don't the Heat love that! They've had the final word against their old team-mate, but can Cutting's new chums get the last laugh?

powerful biffage off a full length, and that draws a fumble at long-off, to allow Cutting to hustle back

tapped to long-on, that's 11 off the over, more than adequate to stay up with the rate

waiting with bat raised, on the back foot, flogged out to cow corner, but there's a man back to tidy up

good variation of pace, down to 85kph that time, poked to cover

moshed off a back-of-a-length, back over the bowler's head, one bounce to long-off as he hurtles round

flashed into the covers, to rotate the strike

inside-out poundage, over the covers off the back foot! That's tremendous power and placement, and it's put Thunder right in the driving seat at the start of this over

wide line, Sams threatens to follow it, but pulls out, and gets the extra

Good finish to the over, and his spell. Length ball, drawing a respectful drive back down the pitch
