The Brisbane Heat have survived a staggering middle-order collapse to secure a four-wicket win over the Hobart Hurricanes in a pulsating BBL clash.<\/p>\n

Set 149 to win by the Hurricanes, Brisbane's opening pair of Max Bryant and Sam Heazlett put on 73 inside six overs for the first wicket, before a wicked batting collapse.<\/p>\n

The collapse was inspired by Hurricanes opening batsman D'Arcy Short, who finished with figures of 3-18 off his four overs, including a stunning caught and bowled effort.<\/p>\n

Having already picked up two wickets, Short picked up his third when Heat batsman Tom Cooper smacked a delivery back at him with such force that it left the umpire ducking for cover.<\/p>\n

However, Short stuck out his left hand and not only saved a boundary, but managed to catch the ball, leaving both the batsman and the umpire stunned.<\/p>\n

The wicket came as a part of a collapse which saw the Heat lose an incredible 6-29 in the middle of their batting innings.<\/p>\n

After the collapse threatened to derail the Heat's chances, skipper Jimmy Peirson (16 off 15) and James Bazley (31 off 19) combined for an unbeaten 50-run partnership.<\/p>\n

Earlier, the Heat's bowling efforts were led by Englishman Lewis Gregory, who finished with figures of 3-22, including the key wicket of countryman Dawid Malan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
