Heat Deny Hurricanes in Final Over to Jolt BBL Top-Spot Race

Hobart’s failure to close a 160 chase at Ninja Stadium keeps Brisbane’s season alive, exposing first place to a late Perth or Melbourne Stars surge.

Overview

  • Chasing 160, Hobart collapsed from 2-124 to 8-157, losing 4-7 in 13 balls after half-centuries from Ben McDermott and Beau Webster had set up the pursuit.
  • Pakistan quick Zaman Khan conceded just two runs in the final over and dismissed Nikhil Chaudhary to seal the three-run result.
  • Brisbane rise from fifth to fourth with one match remaining against the Sixers, keeping their finals fate in their own hands.
  • Hobart miss the chance to seal the minor premiership, leaving Perth able to jump into first with wins over the Renegades and Stars, with the Stars still a chance to finish top.
  • The Hurricanes are assessing Chris Jordan after he left the field with a foot issue before returning to bat.
