Match Details
Earlier in the game, Melbourne Stars inserted to bat first and lost Joe Clarke early for 4 runs. Tom Rogers got a start as he scored 26. Beau Webster was involved in an important partnership with Nick Larkin. Webster chipped in with 36. James Seymour chipped in with a useful 13 off 6 balls. But the innings revolved around Nick Larkin. His 58 off 36 balls powered the Stars to a competitive score of 159/7 in 20 overs. 9 extras were given by the fielding side.
Michael Neser was the pick of the bowlers for the Brisbane
Heat as he had exceptional figures of 4/25 in 4 overs. Matt Renshaw got a
wicket with the only over he bowled. Spencer Johnson and James Bazley got a
wicket each but went for runs as they were punished by Larkin. The two spinners
Kuhnemann and Swepson went wicketless and kept things relatively tight. All in
all, a decent bowling effort from the Heat.
So, a win for the Brisbane Heat over the Melbourne Stars by 3 wickets in this bottom-placed clash as the Heat keeps their slim hopes of qualification intact. The Stars' disappointing run continues.
