Perth Scorchers secured a 33-run victory over Brisbane Heat in Match 12 of the Big Bash League (BBL) 2024-25 at Perth Stadium on 26 December 2024. After winning the toss and opting to bowl, Brisbane Heat had a strong start in the field but struggled to chase down the target set by the Scorchers.

Perth Scorchers posted a total of 165/6 in 20 overs, with Nick Hobson providing the fireworks towards the end. The Scorchers were off to a shaky start, with Finn Allen dismissed for a duck in the first over.

However, a crucial 62-run partnership between Matthew Hurst (28 off 35) and Cooper Connolly (37 off 37) steadied the ship. Captain Ashton Turner added a quick 22 off 13 balls in the middle overs before Hobson’s explosive cameo.

In reply, Brisbane Heat struggled throughout their innings, losing 3 wickets in the powerplay. Their top order failed to fire, with the top 4 batters unable to reach double digits.

Matt Renshaw (36 off 24) and Max Bryant (35 off 20) showed some resistance, but it wasn’t enough to chase down the target, as they were bowled out for 132 in 19.4 overs.

The victory saw the Perth Scorchers triumph by 33 runs, further solidifying their position in the tournament standings.
