Big Bash league Update – Matches 17 & 18
The Brisbane Heat finally got their first point of the inaugural Big Bash competition, prevailing over table http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Thomas-Donald-Topley-c93395, Hobart Hurricanes by a narrow three-run margin.
The bottom team finally came good after a brisk hundred run stand between openers, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Andrew-William-Robinson-c44640. Both played aggressively as Hayden brought his first 50 since coming out of retirement, and when he perished in the final over, he had done enough to allow his team to post a mammoth 201 on the board.
Apart from the opening pairing, there was also a strong cameo by skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Peter-Forrest-c2176 who remained unbeaten with 33.
In reply, the Hurricanes remained in the hunt after openers, Jonathan Wells and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/OA-Shah-c2134 kept the tie in the balance as the Hurricanes needed 15 from the final over.
The win was on course as Shah hit a boundary before clearing the rope for a maximum, but youngster http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Alister-McDermott-c43674 held his presence of mind to run out Birt, before claiming the wicket of Shah from the final ball of the innings to help his side claim their first win of the tournament.
The other much awaited clash saw Melbourne franchises, the Stars and Renegades; battle it out at the MCG. However, the match ended in favour of the Stars after rain interrupted play mid-way through the second innings  which resulted in the Duck-worth Lewis method coming into play, handing the home side a 11-run victory.
Batting first, Stars made 167 on the board, courtesy of a solid 51 by veteran http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Matthew-Wade-c1933, who made an unbeaten 32 off 15, which included three huge sixes.
The pick of the Renegades bowlers was Pakistani, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Shahid-Afridi-c2482, who picked up an impressive brace.
In reply, the visitors started poorly as they lost inform openers, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Shane-Keith-Warne-c89672 removed him in his first over. With 58 for 3, the rain halted the proceedings – consequently handing Stars the win via the D/L method.
