Heat vs Sixers, 2nd Semi-Final at Brisbane, Jan 25 2017 - Ball by Ball Commentary

Monster hit to finish, but McCullum kicks the ground in disgust for this is an effort in a losing cause. Oh, dear. How did it come down to this? McCullum waits inside the crease and hammers this high and over long-off.

swings over the bowler's head but can only toe end it towards long-off. All over by the shouting

swung away straight to short fine leg. Is that the end of their campaign? Abbott will remind himself. No no-ball or

swung away from outside off towards long-on, through the hands of Botha who was running around the ropes. Made good ground to get there, but closed his eyes and hands little too soon

full and sliding down leg, McCullum swings and misses but wide called. Even a hint of bat on that would have been enough to get a boundary though

mistimes a wild slog to the man coming in from long-on, looking tough

slower outside off, Henriques waits inside the crease and swings this back of length delivery into the deep square leg boundary. Didn't get hold of it but the gap was found. What a finish. Some hitting that!

muscled over long-on! For a moment, it looked like the fielder was in business, but he just watched it sailed over. Big hit. Can't bowl length. He was waiting, waiting and boom!

full and straight on middle, he's biffed that over deep midwicket. Swung that away like he was away on a golf course

another slower bouncer, tennis ball bounce on this one, pulls but doesn't get hold of it but there's enough to get it into the gap at deep midwicket and long-on, two it will be

slower bouncer, he goes through with the pull way too early and misses, they scamper a bye
