Heat vs Sixers, 49th Match at Brisbane, BBL, Jan 23 2020 - Ball by Ball Commentary
Sixers won by 8 wickets (with 25 balls remaining)
Sydney Sixers win by 8 wickets with 25 balls to spare. That was clinical. Professional chase from the Sixers. Vince was phenomenal and then Philippe picked up the slack when he departed. The win was set up with the ball. The Heat's batting was dismal again. Steve O'Keefe is Player of the Match. He took the key wicket of Lynn and conceded just 20 runs in four overs. "It was a good all-round performance by the bowlers."
Great win by the Sixers. They move ahead of the Strikers to second on the table for the moment. The Strikers face the Scorchers tomorrow. The Heat can still play finals but need some things to fall their way over the last two games.
Thanks for your company from the Gabba.
a huge appeal for lbw but the umpire turns it down. It looked really close. Might have just been sliding
Baskar: "It's the kind of players you have in your roster. I don't think there is as much a feeling of oneness and team spirit in the Heat as in Sixers/Scorchers."

Slight delay for a rare streaker.
hardik: "A little unfair to Lehmann. Australia were winning plenty until the twin bans on their best players. They didn't really start getting better until both players came back. " Lehmann resigned when the bans happened. But he had led the team to an Ashes just prior and won a World Cup in 2015.

caught behind! Some extra pace and bounce. Bizarre dismissal. He backed away, Pattinson followed at the body and Smith got in a tangle, caught in two minds and ended up edging it to Peirson
Don: "Sorry, but I am very unimpressed with Lynn's captaincy throughout this tournament."
he backs away, Pattinson follows, hits him on the thigh pad and they get a leg bye

san: "i have always believed that Coach's strategies play most important role on team's attitude and performance. when Lehman was national coach, australia was struggling to win matches and now under Langer same australian team is not losing any test matches. Lehman is now heat coach and it is clearly visible from heat's performance."

Aneesh pv: "Can anyone tell Lynn he has only 30 odd to defend. Why is he not bringing on his best bowler pattinson and cutting..." Pattinson on now. Lynn says "Don't be afraid to bowl a bouncer. There hasn't been one tonight."
Strategic timeout. Avishek: "Looks like pitch is helping spin a bit. Why not give Labuschagne a go with one two overs?" Yes, they have two games left after this. But their NRR is really bad and they will need some help from the Thunder or Scorchers
full outside off, he drives powerfully to deep cover-point
tossed up, he skips down and stays leg side to loft this flat down the ground over the bowler's head! Held his shape well and executed
