Thunder vs Heat, 28th Match at Brisbane, BBL, Jan 04 2021 - Match Result

that should be the win for the Heat! Length, and a lot of turn from outside off, and Peirson has done well to pierce an infield of six fielders, three on the off side, but placing this to the left of cover. Before the sweeper in the deep can rifle in a low throw, they go through for the second

length, and punished. Swatted away towards deep mid-wicket, and goes through for four. We are denied a potential grandstand finish. Or are we?

good pace, short length, and Bazley looks to pull this away but gets nowhere near it as it fizzes past his right ear

fuller ball, and where has this one gone? Yorker length, and he looks to get some bat on to it. Perhaps just hit it off the toe-end, and almost on to his stumps, but it bounces through to Billings

short, and he has cut this straight to point. A very good Burns innings comes to an end. Couldn't be blamed for that dismissal, would have gotten four had he just managed to place it wide of Khawaja, or perhaps just clear him. In the end, a good sharp catch by the latter, and Heat lose their fifth

sharp, short, and close to the batsman. Burns ducks under this

length, well wide of off. Eight wides and one no-ball delivered today by Thunder

length, around middle, and worked away towards deep mid-wicket. They go for the second, and a direct hit at the non-striker's end could have made things interesting!

length, good pace, and he cuts him after making some room. Superb placement from Peirson yet again, bisecting the gap between backward point and short third man

back of a length, drifting down the pads, and he looks to pull this away. Off the glove towards square leg, and Burns brings up fifty. Shorn of his woes with the red ball, he has played a proper gem of a white-ball innings today

length, around off, and he drives to mid-on and picks up a single

length, driven to mid-off, and they pinch a single

yorker, bowled at 147.6 kph, and it goes between bat, legs and stumps through to Billings

fuller length, a bit of late movement back in, and Burns is able to squeeze it off the outside edge. Runs away really quickly to the left of short third man

fantastic innovation from Peirson! He walks right across the crease and exposes his entire set of stumps, and McAndrew follows him somewhat. He's ready to face a fuller length ball, and smacks it over mid-off. Well hit, because it lands just short of the long-on fence

fuller, straighter, and he is forced to dig this out towards mid-off

length, around off, and a firm drive, but straight to deep point

length, cut away towards deep point

length, cut hard towards deep point

back of a length, down the leg side, and a loud appeal for caught behind as Pierson looks to go down to fine leg. That was quick, bowled at 143 kph
