The Perth Scorchers reclaimed the top spot in the points table of the Big Bash League (BBL) 2022-23 after their eight-wicket win over Brisbane Heat on Wednesday, January 11 at The Gabba in Brisbane.
After being asked to chase 156, the Scorchers were in a spot of bother after both their openers, Stephen Eskinazi and Cameron Bancroft, got out cheaply. However, Aaron Hardie and Josh Inglis put on an unbeaten 132-run stand to take the Scorchers past the finish line.
Jason Behrendorff was the pick of the bowlers for the Scorchers after he picked up three crucial wickets. Fast bowler Matthew Kelly also got two prized wickets, although he bowled only a couple of overs. The Scorchers chased the target down with 22 balls to spare.
