The 29th match of the Big Bash League (BBL) 2023-24 took place between the Brisbane Heat and the Hobart Hurricanes. The Gabba in Brisbane was host to the clash between the titans and it saw hosts winning the game by the barest of margins and bagging important points.
Hobart Hurricanes won the toss and opted to field first. They had a magnificent outing with the ball as they put Brisbane Heat under pressure right from the start. They jolted the opposition first on 35 runs when they removed Josh Brown (19) and after that didn’t look back.
Colin Munro (56) held the one end and played a decent hand. He didn’t get support from the other end as wickets around him fell like a pack of cards. Hobart Hurricanes were all over the Brisbane Heat and reduced them to 110/5 with all the front-line batters back in the hut.
A crucial contribution by Paul Walter (22) in the end then powered Brisbane Heat to a total of 132 runs.
Hobart Hurricanes then had a horrendous start to the chase as Xavier Bartlett was all over them. Brisbane Heat reduced the opposition to 56/5 and were on top of the game before rain halted the game. The target was then revised to 118 in 16 overs and it brought a sigh of relief for the Hurricanes.
Nikhil Chaudhary and Tim David (27) played a great hand for the team and added 47 runs for the partnership that brought their team back into the game. There was a twist in the tale when David got out and soon Chris Jordan (2) perished, thanks to Spencer Johnson.
With 13 runs needed in the last over, Nikhil Chaudhary (55) held his nerves and hit six on the first ball to bring his team close to total. But perished on the third ball. The game went to the last over and it saw Brisbane Heat defending the target and winning the game by 1 runs.
