BBL 2021-22: Brisbane Heat thump Adelaide Strikers after brilliant show from batting unit

Brisbane Heat thumped Adelaide Strikers by 39 runs in Adelaide on Thursday in a Big Bash League fixture. Batting first, the Heat rode on a brilliant partnership between Duckett and Heazlett of 114 runs to post a massive total of 208/7 in 20 overs. 

While Duckett struck a 47-ball 78, Heazlett fell short of a fifty by just one run during the course as he was out for 49 off 30 deliveries. 

For the Strikers, Rashid Khan scalped three wickets for 34 runs in 4 overs while Fawad Ahmed didn’t pick any wickets but returned with an impressive economy rate as he just gave 25 runs in 4 overs. 

Later, the Adelaide Strikers lost a couple of early wickets before Matt Renshaw and Jonathan Wells chipped in with a stand of 71 runs for the third wicket before Renshaw was sent back in the hut by Bazley for 22 off 23. 

Wells went on to score a fifty but his departure saw the Adelaide side losing wickets at regular intervals and the asking rate kept mounting as they were eventually restricted to 169/8 in 20 overs. 

Mark Steketee and Bazley were the pick of the bowlers for the team. While Steketee scalped a three-wicket haul for 27 runs in 4 overs, Bazley returned with two wickets for 27 runs in 4 overs. 








"Yeah very important win for us. A very proud win for us. Its quite fantastic to come here at the Adelaide Oval and get a win. I was actually quite happy with the tossing the balls. Yeah, Garton smacked a few but I enjoyed it after the wicket. It was beautiful to see Duckett and Heazlett get some runs, It gets really tough against them in the nets,” Matthew Kuhnemann said after the match.

Shakib al Hasan has no interest to continue playing three formats for Bangladesh

Bangladesh’s star all rounder Shakib al Hasan in an explosive interview has stated that he does not want to continue as an all format player with the national team. Speaking to a local TV channel Shakib clarified that he is unsure about playing the longest format, and it does not really serve the if the national team plays two matches in 40-42 days. ''I know what [format] is important for me and I know what [format] should get the preference. Right now time has come when I am thinking about Test cricket and whether I will play Tests again or even if I play, how will I play.'' "When you play two Tests in 40 to 42 days, it cannot be fruitful so certainly it encourages playing selective matches. I am not saying that I will retire from Test but it can happen that I am not playing T20s after the 2022 World Cup and at that point I might play one-day and Test. But continuing three formats together is almost close to impossible,'' he said. Shakib has found himself in murky waters over the last year with the Bangladesh Board president Nazmul Hasan Papon repeatedly giving fiery statements about the senior pros of the team. Amongst other things, Shakib was heavily criticised by the media-loving president when he chose to play in the Indian Premier League snubbing the national tour. Shakib, who has already chosen to skip the Test series against New Zealand, stated that bio-bubbles have been taking a toll over him. Comparing it to living in jail, the star all-rounder stated that so much of regulations have been hampering his personal life. 'When you have three small children and you cannot give time and suddenly you meet them for eight to 10 days and then again you are away for couple of months and again you meet for 15 days it's a very unhealthy situation and I feel it will leave an impact on their growth. I don't want them to go through it,'' he concluded.
