WATCH: Brisbane Heat lose 10 wickets for 36 runs in horrible batting collapse vs Melbourne Renegades

Brisbane Heat lose 10 wickets for 36 runs: The hosts ended up losing a match which they seemed to be winning at one point.

During the 44th match of the ongoing ninth season of the Big Bash League between Brisbane Heat and Melbourne Renegades in Brisbane, Brisbane Heat lost 10 wickets for 36 runs to find themselves in a horrible batting collapse.

It is worth mentioning that Heat lost their last seven wickets for as many runs as their batsmen appeared to be utterly clueless against the visiting bowlers.

Chasing a 165-run target, Brisbane got off to a quickfire start on the back of an 84-run opening partnership between Sam Heazlett (56) and captain Chris Lynn (41). Once Lynn got out to Renegades pacer Andrew Fekete on the last delivery of the last over of the powerplay, there was no looking back for the Renegades’ bowlers.

Tried and tested names in AB de Villiers (2), Matt Renshaw (0), Joe Burns (14) and Ben Cutting (5) getting dismissed like pack of cards didn’t bode well for Heat who were eventually bundled out for 120 in 15 overs.

With bowling figures of 4-0-15-4, Melbourne spinner Cameron Boyce was the pick of their bowlers. Apart from Boyce, all-rounders in Daniel Christian and Samit Patel dismissed two batsmen each.

After Lynn won the toss and invited the visitors in to bat, Renegades scored 164/6 in 20 overs due to an all-round effort from their batsmen. Coming in to bat at No. 4 in the eighth over, Beau Webster top-scored for them with 36 (26) with the help of four fours and a six.
