BBL 06: Twitter Reacts As Brisbane Heat Crush Melbourne Stars In Top Of The Table Clash

Brisbane Heat thrashed Melbourne Stars by seven wickets in the top of the table clash to secure their passage to the semi-finals.

With their inspirational skipper Brendon MeCullum and highest-scorer Chris Lynn absent for the important clash, Heat needed to start well against the table-toppers and their bowlers provided them the ideal start. Mark Steketee dismissed Rob Quiney and in-form Kevin Pietersen in the first two balls of the innings before a 55-run partnership between Luke Wright (60) and Seb Gotch (30) steadied the ship. But the hosts lost two wickets in quick succession and barring David Hussey (29), no other batsman could contribute with a decent score. Wright remained unbeaten till the end but lacked support from the other end as his team huffed and puffed to 138 for 7.

In reply, the Heat were in a spot of bother after being reduced to 26 for 2 but a 39-run partnership between Sam Heazlett and Alex Ross and then an unbeaten 74-run partnership between the latter and stand-in skipper Joe Burns took them home.
