Brisbane turn on the Heat against Thunder in Canberra
2023.12.12
The Brisbane Heat have continued their undefeated start to the KFC BBL season with a comfortable 20-run win against the Sydney Thunder in Canberra.
“A stylish innings of 46 runs by the in-form opener, Colin Munro, coupled with a masterful display of precision from their disciplined bowling attack, paved the way for the visitors to effortlessly clinch victory on Tuesday night.
In the face of an imposing target of 151, the Heat’s bowlers proved to be a force to be reckoned with, leaving their opponents struggling at 6-80. However, a late surge from Thunder’s resilient lower-order batter, Chris Green, who contributed a quickfire 30 off 20 balls, added a touch of drama and restored some respectability to the scoreboard. Despite the late scare, the Heat ultimately secured a well-deserved win.”
