Brisbane Heat has produced something historic in the Big Bash League, with their chase of a whopping 258 target against the Perth Scorchers. This is also the highest target successfully chased in the Big Bash League and the third highest in international T20 cricket. It has also provided the spectators with a night full of boundaries, sixes, and mind-blowing knocks.
Wildermuth and Renshaw Drive The Record Charge
Jack Wildermuth shone on the night as he remained not out on 110 from 54 deliveries. He not only arrested the innings but also struck the match-winning runs. Matt Renshaw also played a significant role in the match. His swift 102 from 51 deliveries kept the match alive for Brisbane from the very start. Their partnership dashed the hopes of the Scorchers, who were seemingly on their way to an unbeatable total.
This chase also marked Brisbane Heat’s maiden successful chase beyond the 200-run mark. Prior to this game, the highest successful chase by Brisbane Heat was 187. This indicates the significance of the night for the side.
Scorchers Fall Short Despite Blistering Score
In early play, a big win seemed on the cards for Perth Scorchers. Finn Allen and Cooper Connolly, both of whom were selected in IPL teams recently (KKR and PBKS, respectively), scored fifties in quick succession. So, Scorchers were at 257/6 in 20 overs, which seemed a winning total on most days.
But cricket can be full of surprises, and the Heat demonstrated that when it comes to T20, nothing is out of reach.
