Commentary

Till then, this is Dwaipayan Mukherjee, signing off with my fellow commentator Rudransh Khurrana, who has been tirelessly bringing you all the ball by ball updates over the last 3 days from the Big Bash circuit.

It will be Match 30 tomorrow which will see the Perth Scorchers travel to Sydney to play the Thunder. After experiencing their first loss of the season in the last match, they would be keen to get back to winning ways sooner rather than later. Join us for that one!

This win further consolidates the top position for Brisbane Heat who are now at 14 points from 8 matches which gets them the 'Q' in front of their name - the first team to qualify for the knock out stages.

The Hobart Hurricanes would feel they have closely missed out on an opportunity to break into the top 4. It makes their situation rather tricky now.

They will be back in action in less than 48 hours when they go to the Adelaide Oval before hosting the Strikers again for the reverse fixture on Thursday.

The Brisbane Heat would be starting to make their plans for the knockout fixtures and what better team to prepare for that than the two-time defending champions Perth Scorchers - who will play them twice over the next 6 days.

Xavier Bartlett is the player of the match, here's what he has to say: Unbelievable game of cricket. We just wanted to try and take the wickets. It's a funny one. You just try and bowl your best balls and that (the last wicket) was my worst ball of the night. It quickened up a little bit and we just looked to bowl the hard length.

Brisbane Heat defeat Hobart Hurricanes by 1 run by DLS Method.

Hobart Hurricanes - 116/9

Nikhil Chaudhary - 55 (37) | Tim David - 27 (21)
Xavier Bartlett - 3/30 | Spencer Johnson - 2/21

The Heat win 6 in a row for the first time in their history! It is heartbreak for the Hurricanes as they came so close. It looked all doom and gloom for them when Bartlett ran through the top order rampantly in his opening over which made 133 look as if it is an Everest to climb.

While receiving his Man of the Match, Bartlett applauds the crowd for their unbelievable support. The drizzle quickened the surface a bit which helped the batters but he will be smiling at the end with his team registering yet another win.

Wickets kept on falling before Tim David joined hands with Nikhil Chaudhary and the rain decided to make an appearance. That stand threatened to take the game away from the home team.

47 from 35 balls was what the duo stitched together before David departed the scene but Chaudhary was still going strong with his attacking approach at the other end. When he struck the first ball of the last over to bring down the equation to 7 needed from 5, it almost seemed like his maiden Big Bash half-century would come on a winning note.

But it was not to be as Walter found a method to bring his side back into the game which eventually transpired into the lowest ever score to have ever been succesfully defended at this ground.

15.6 Paul Walter to Nathan Ellis, HEAT WIN! Full toss outside the off-stump, Ellis can't get anything but a punchy drive to mid off, doesn't get under it at all. Takes the single. Dooley wants a double but even that doesn't matter. He was anyway out of the crease and the keeper took the bails off! What a finish for the bowling side. They remain unbeaten in the competition and Johnson does dummy shush gestures with a smile!

3 needed off 1 ball! What drama!

15.5 Paul Walter to Patrick Dooley, OH! One run taken! And there are words being exchanged! Swings through the wide yorker and hits the bowler on the foot. The non-striker hits him on the comeback run and goes behind. Walter does a dummy throw. It's getting heated up out here!

15.4 Paul Walter to Nathan Ellis, slower one on the leg-stump, drops it to third man and scampers to the other end

Nathan Ellis, RHB, comes to the crease

15.3 Paul Walter to Nikhil Chaudhary, BILLINGS TAKES THE CATCH AND THE GABBA EXPLODES! Backs himself with the short ball again, Chaudhary is in no control of the pull this time and the top edge flies back and cross Billings who runs, settles and grabs the most important catch of his season!

Nikhil Chaudhary c Sam Billings b Paul Walter 55 (37b, 4x4, 2x6)

15.2 Paul Walter to Nikhil Chaudhary, goes over the off-side this time! Full outside the off-stump, lifts it over covers, the fielder runs in behind and saves the boundary but he takes a couple

15.1 Paul Walter to Nikhil Chaudhary, SIX! THIS MAN IS NOT GIVING UP! Short on the body, takes on the biggest boundary at square leg and thumps it into the deep! 7 needed off 5 and this youngster is making it count!

Nikhil Chaudhary will be tasked to score 13 from the last over. Walter with the ball!

14.6 Spencer Johnson to Chris Jordan, OUT! GONE THIS TIME! Johnson brings his team back into the game. Short and angling across again, Jordan looks for that big pull which gets the top edge that loops for an easy catch for the bowler!

14.5 Spencer Johnson to Chris Jordan, length ball outside the off-stump, jumps off the surface, he swings across the line wildly and misses!

14.4 Spencer Johnson to Chris Jordan, BILLINGS FLIES BUT DOESN'T GET TO IT! Short ball on the leg-stump, Jordan is uncomfortable on the pull and gloves it just past the diving keeper, they take 2

Chris Jordan, RHB, comes to the crease
