The Adelaide Strikers beat the Brisbane Heat by two runs in the 13th match of the 10th season of the Big Bash League. Stand-in captain Jimmy Peirson scored his fourth BBL half-century, but it wasn’t enough as the Brisbane Heat lost by the same amount. The Heat’s chase of a 151-run target got off to a bad start after they lost half their team for only 37 runs in the ninth. While Peirson was batting at No. 7, three more Heat batsmen were quickly out, bringing their score to 68/8.

Peirson and Heat spinner Mujeeb-Ur-Rahman, who was 18 at the time, put together a record-breaking 60-run partnership for the ninth wicket to save the Heat and bring them close to a win. After Mujeeb was out in the 18th over, Peirson and No. 11 batsman Ben Laughlin played smartly to win. Peirson turned down singles on the last three pitches to keep Laughlin off the plate while they tried to score seven runs in the last four balls.
