Brendan Doggett and Cameron Boyce etched their names in Big Bash League history with a record-breaking 74-run partnership for the ninth wicket during the Adelaide Strikers’ encounter against the Perth Scorchers in the 2024-25 season. Their resilient stand not only rescued the Strikers from a dire situation but also set a new benchmark for lower-order partnerships in the league.

Doggett, Boyce Turn The Table For Strikers With Gritty Knock

Coming together at 58/8, Doggett and Boyce displayed remarkable composure and intent against a fierce Scorchers bowling attack. Brendan Doggett led the charge with an unbeaten 47 off 39 deliveries, laced with five boundaries and two sixes, while Boyce contributed a vital 29 off 22 balls, striking three fours and a six. The duo rotated the strike effectively and capitalized on loose deliveries to frustrate the Scorchers' bowlers, particularly Andrew Tye, who leaked runs in the death overs.

Their partnership powered the Strikers to a total of 142/8 in 20 overs, giving them a fighting chance after the top order collapsed. Earlier in the innings, the Scorchers' pace duo of Jhye Richardson (3/29) and Jason Behrendorff (2/14) had rattled the Strikers' batting lineup, with only D’Arcy Short (22 off 19) and Alex Ross (20 off 15) providing brief resistance.

Despite the low total, Doggett and Cameron Boyce’s defiant effort gave the Strikers a glimmer of hope, showcasing the depth and grit within their squad. At the time of writing, the Scorchers have already bagged a handsome total on board with very few runs left to chase. While Strikers might lose the match, the resilience showed by Doggett and Boyce will give them warm memories to cherish for the rest of the season.
