Brisbane Heat etched their name in the annals of record books as they chased down the highest-ever total of the Big Bash history against the Perth Scorchers at the Brisbane Gabba on Friday, December 16.
It all started with Perth Scorchers registering the 2nd highest total of BBL, with Fin Allen and Cooper Connolly smashing quick-fire half-centuries to take the Scorchers to a mammoth 257/6 in 20 overs.
Even though the pitch was a belter, it still looked like a herculean task to chase it down. However, the Heat batters had some other plans as Matt Renshaw and Jack Wildermuth blazed blistering tons to take Brisbane Heat over the line in the penultimate ball of the innings with 8 wickets in hand.
Matt Renshaw scored 102 runs off 51 balls with five fours and 9 sixes, Jake Wildermuth smashed not out 110 runs in 54 balls to construct a 211-run stand between the two for the 2nd wicket.
This was also the most explosive match of the BBL history as it 36 sixes were hit in the match - the most in the history of BBL.
