Marsh smacks bowlers all-around the ground
Marsh's innings was well supported by Liam Livingstone who scored 39 off 31 and after his departure, Bancroft scored a quickfire 41 off 29 deliveries. Brisbane Heat got off to a good start courtesy of Tom Banton who was playing his last BBL match of the season. Banton scored 55 off 32 deliveries but after he was dismissed by Fawad Ahmed, the Heat seemed to be out of contention.
Jhye Richardson, Joel Paris and Chris Jordan picked up 2 wickets each to plunder Heat's batting line-up. Heat's bowling line-up couldn't affect much either as Ben Laughlin was smashed for 60 runs and could only bag one wicket. Pattison was not spared either as he went for 52 runs in his first BBL game of the season. Mitchel Marsh was adjudged the Player of the Match for his heroics.
