BBL 2018/19: Perth Scorchers vs Brisbane Heat, 21st Match – Report

Mujeeb ur Rahman delivers for Brisbane Heat:

Initially, it was Brisbane, who won the toss and chose to bowl first. Accepting the task, Perth got a 56-run opening partnership from Cameron Bancroft and Michael Klinger. But, what comes as good news for Heat was that both openers played with a below-par striker rate.

The flamboyant batsman knocked 47 to put 135 runs on the board, Earlier, Mujeeb picked up a couple of wickets by giving away just 10 runs in his 4-over quota. And also, Ben Cutting picked up a couple.

In reply, Brisbane got early jolts as Brendon McCullum and Max Byrant failed to get the decent scores on the board. However, quite unlike him, Chris Lynn played a run-a-ball knock to shoulder his side towards the target.

Though he lost his wicket in the middle of the chase, Ben Cutting gave the much-needed fire boost in the chase to make things happen for Brisbane Heat. In between, Joe Burns and Renshaw also chipped in with decent scores.
