Commentary

So that'll be all from our coverage of this contest. It's been a pleasure bringing the coverage of the same to you but the cricketing action rolls on - Australia and Sri Lanka are set to walk out to the Perth Stadium in just under 20 minutes from now with Aaron Finch having won the toss and elected to field. Do hop over here to catch our coverage of that contest while staying tuned to Sportskeeda for more cricketing news, action and coverage around the world, including the WBBL in the coming days. Thank you so much for tuning in today - this is the duo of Srivatsa Vennelaganti and Sooryanarayanan Sesha signing off for now. See you around soon - toodles!

Georgia Redmayne: It was a very tense match. I'm a very nervous watcher. Our stats guy had the numbers up and at one stage, we were behind by one and thankfully Kerr got us the boundary after that. The batting at the end was superb. It's back in place now thankfully [the finger]. It's the first dislocation I have had. Had to get some medical help there. I have batted with broken fingers before and it's been much worse. It was fine, did not affect too much. Litchfield and Jones had a very good partnership. It kind of skidded through and kept low for the pacers. For the spinners it did grip a bit. Usually a quick outfield here, but not as quick with the water out there tonight. Something we pride ourselves in our team is our depth in batting and bowling. We have got Courtney Sippel batting at 11 and she has been getting hundreds in club cricket. That depth helped us today.

Match summary: Brisbane Heat beat Sydney Thunder by 3 runs (DLS).

Georgia Redmayne 33 (36) | Jess Jonassen 2/20 (4)
Phoebe Litchfield 50 (38) | Lea Tahuhu 3/31 (4)

Oh it ebbed and flowed much like we expected it to. And for a moment there, having triggered a mini-collapse, the Sydney Thunder were on top despite having to defend just 140. But cometh the hour, cometh the clutch player named Amelia Kerr to stand up and get the job done.

The Heat were off to a slow but steady start, although their batters were living a charmed life in the middle. The Thunder had multiple catching opportunities upfront but made a mess of most of them with Dannielle Wyatt shored up the batting order to open the innings in place of Grace Harris. The latter was given three lifelines on the trot including a missed stumping chance and it seemed as though the Heat could do no wrong.

That said, the bowlers kept it as tight as they could to keep the game in the balance. At 56/2 at the halfway mark, it was game on after Harris got out in freak fashion. Tahlia Wilson copping a blow on her helmet meant that she handed her keeping gloves to Amy Jones and went off the field. But with opener Georgia Redmayne in the middle, the Heat would have fancied their chances.

It didn't help her though that she kept losing partners and once she departed with the score reading 72/5, the Thunder had catapulted themselves in front thanks to a Lea Tahuhu burst. That's when Kerr and Charli Knott combined forces to absorb the pressure and find the odd boundary, even as the Thunder's fielders let them off the hook.

The Power Surge was delayed for some reason despite enough batting to follow. Just as the heavens opened up though, Kerr found the fence at just the right moment to put the Heat in front on DLS. The umpires tried their best to keep it going but it was bucketing down heavily to the extent that they had no choice but to go off. And that was the final nail in the coffin for the Thunder, who have now lost their fourth game this season.

And it's official now! The match has been called off at this point and the Brisbane Heat take the two points by 3 runs via DLS. A fine show towards the end by Kerr and Knott and they have flipped this contest on its head to make it four on the trot for the Heat!

And the umpires have had enough. The covers are being rolled onto the field as the players march back to their respective dugouts. Brisbane Heat are ahead on DLS and jeez, what a comeback this has been by Amelia Kerr and Charli Knott. It could end up being a game-clinching partnership this but let's hope the players are able to return and resume the contest soon.

17.2 Samantha Bates to Charli Knott, Knott comes down and lofts straight, long-on comes around and prevents the four. The rain has got harder and off they go inside. Heat ahead at the moment on DLS

22 needed off 17...

17.1 Samantha Bates to Charli Knott, crucial runs. Slips it down leg and Knott misses the sweep, given as byes after the batter misses

What a crucial hit that! It has just put the Heat in front on the DLS should the shutters come down at this point. No such signs just yet but it's imperative that they stay ahead of the DLS mark here, the Heat. And it's absolutely hosing down now! Yet, the umpires are happy to keep going. The Thunder get a change of ball though and rightfully so. It's slippery wet with all the rain there.

16.6 Sammy-Jo Johnson to Amelia Kerr, FOUR! That could be a match-winning shot with the rain coming down harder. Kerr gets across and picks the slower ball, sweeps over square leg and no-one there, one bounce and over. Heat now ahead of the DLS par score after that hit

16.5 Sammy-Jo Johnson to Charli Knott, slower ball outside off, miscued slog and it lands near the vacant mid-on region

16.4 Sammy-Jo Johnson to Amelia Kerr, another slower ball outside off, lofted to long-off

The umpire is having a word upstairs. The rain is starting to come down heavily now. 30 needed off 21 deliveries.

16.3 Sammy-Jo Johnson to Amelia Kerr, slower and fuller outside off, driven straight to point

16.2 Sammy-Jo Johnson to Amelia Kerr, FOUR! Nice! Kerr comes down the track and goes over mid-off with a clean strike

16.1 Sammy-Jo Johnson to Amelia Kerr, low full-toss outside off, dragged to square leg

The Brisbane Heat faithful in the stands have found their voices with the Heat giving the charge. But hellloooooo! It's starting to rain now. We will keep going for the moment though.
