Perth Scorchers steamrolled Brisbane Heat by seven wickets in the 33rd match of the Big Bash League (BBL) 2022-23


Bancroft, Hardie clobbers Brisbane

In the 172-run chase, Perth's Cameron Bancroft and Aaron Hardie made the job done as the duo registered fifties to bring home the bacon. 

Perth made it look like a walk in the park as Bancroft and Hardie outclassed the opposition. Although the hosts lost back-to-back wickets in the 12th and 14th over, the Ashton Turner-led side did not press the panic button as their skipper scored a quickfire 12-ball 23 to help the team win inside the 17th over.

After opting to bowl first, Perth got pushed to the backseat as Brisbane's openers Colin Munro and Josh Brown set-up an 81-run stand.

However, the Scorchers pace quartet of Matthew Kelly, Andrew Tye, Jason Behrendorff and Lance Morris struck back with wickets as Brisbane's momentum dwindled.

Despite getting a good headstart, the Heat could only finish at 171/9 after 20 overs.
