that's the win! What a glorious hit to bring that up. Length ball, slower one, just outside off. Skids on nicely to the bat. He gets the front leg out of the way and clatters this straight and flat over the bowler
Strikers vs Heat, 50th Match at Adelaide, BBL, Feb 03 2019 - Ball by Ball Commentary
Heat won by 6 wickets (with 8 balls remaining)
Matt Renshaw is the Man of the Match.
8:54pm Strikers came back strong with the bat, and bossed the early stages of this innings as well, but Brisbane Heat put things firmly back in place after dominating for most of the game. In serious trouble early in the chase, they found a completely new dimension to Renshaw's batting. Innovation, power, touch - he had just about everything but his running sorted today. Doubled his highest score and stayed not out on 90, did the newly named "Rennovator". McCullum played second fiddle to him with a fifty of his own and their stand of 122 took Strikers out of it. That puts Heat in sixth place and, technically, alive in the tournament. Thanks for joining us and don't forget to head over to the Perth Scorchers game.

bouncer just outside off. Beaten on the upper cut
slower ball, full on leg stump. Flicked to short fine's left
yorker just outside off. Shuffles and drops it pitch side into the leg side. Calls for yet another run that isn't there. Neser rotates and throws and misses. Would have been out at the non-striker's end
