19.5Balkin to H Nielsen172/10
Catch OUT. OUT! Caught. Thomas Balkin to Harry Nielsen. Back of a length, down leg side on the back foot pulling, top edge in the air uncontrolled to fine leg, caught by Wildermuth. Brisbane Heat clinched their second victory of the season with a thrilling 7-run win over the Adelaide Strikers. Openers Matt Short and Chris Lynn provided a fantastic start at the top, setting a strong platform for the chase. Short anchored the innings with 63 but struggled for strike as the middle order faltered around him. Jerrssis Wadia played a spirited cameo, smashing his first three balls for 6 to inject hope into the innings, but it wasn't enough to see the Heat over the line. For the Strikers, Xavier Bartlett was the standout performer with the ball, claiming three crucial wickets to seal the contest, and he is the Player of the Match.
