Daniel Christian claimed an emphatic five-for to propel Brisbane Heat to a 5-wicket victory over Sydney Thunder, in their match during the ongoing Big Bash League tournament, today on December 28 at the Stadium Australia in Sydney.
Sydney Thunder stepped up to bat first after winning the toss, but lost skipper Chris Rogers (6) to Ben Cutting early, in the 5th over. Chris Gayle (28) and Matt Prior (17) offered the team a brief moment of respite, by setting up Thunder?s highest partnership of the match ? a 35-run stand for the second wicket. However, Player of the Match Daniel Christian (4-0-26-5) commenced his rampage by sending both batsmen packing in the 10th over, leaving the hosts at 59 for 3.
In total, only five batsmen were able to register double-digit scores, while the remainder failed to offer any resistance. Usman Khawaja managed a 23-run contribution, while Sean Abbott scored 11 and Scott Coyte chipped in with 12 runs. Meanwhile, Simon Keen (9), wicketkeeper Ryan Carters (5), Chris Tremain (1), and Adam Zampa (6) all failed to put up much of a fight. By the end of 20 overs, with Dirk Nannes (0*) the lone batsman remaining at the crease, Thunder found themselves all out at an average final total of 126.
Heat, on the other hand, barely stumbled during their chase, which they easily managed to complete within 17 overs, at the expense of 5 wickets, despite the efforts of Dirk Nannes (4-1-31-2), Chris Tremain (4-0-27-2), and Adam Zampa (4-0-34-1).
Top-order batsmen skipper James Hopes (8) and Joe Burns (0) were both snapped up by Nannes in the 4th over, while Luke Pomersbach (28) and Daniel Christian (12) both managed mediocre contributions before they were sent packing by Tremain ? Christian caught out by wicketkeeper Ryan Carters in the 7th over, and Pomersbach bowled in the 9th.
By this point, the team was at 57 for 4, but from there onwards, Chris Lynn took on most of the responsibility for the chase. Lynn smashed an unbeaten 51 off 38, and assisted by Thisara Perera (7) and Peter Forrest (12*), got the team up to 127 with ease, with 5 wickets still in hand, and 20 balls remaining.
