The omission from the test squad is perhaps acting as a wake up call for Nathan McSweeney. He scored 78 from 49 balls for Brisbane Heat today at the Big Bash League and guided them towards a win against the Adelaide Strikers. Lloyd Pope was the only Adelaide bowler who escaped punishment, and ended up with figures of 3-0-17-2. Henry Thornton and Cameron Boyce on the other hand conceded more than 10 runs per over. Heat is at the top of the points table now, but it is too early to predict anything.

Yeah, in 9th game of BBL tournament. Adelaide Striker's played first and made only 174 runs Adelaide Strikers openers didn't start well lost 2 wickets at just 21 runs. Jamie Overton contributed 45 runs by facing 24 balls with three fours and three sixes. Ollie Pope also played well contributed 34 runs by facing 29 balls with 3 fours and 1 sixes. Brisbane Heat team showed excellent performance in both fields Will Prestwidge took two wickets. Brisbane Heat team chased big target 175 runs with loss of seven wickets. Nathan McSweeney played an excellent inning of 78 runs unbeatan knock by facing just 49 delivers with ten fours and 2 sixers. Adelaide Strikers bowlers failed to taking wickets early and credit goes to Nathan McSweeney they palyed a brilliant knock that put pressure on AS teams, and help them to winning this game by three wickets.

Although the target of Adelaide Strikers seemed good at the beginning, Brisbane Heat did not give them that chance. They were able to play well according to the target. There was not much pressure for Brisbane Heat in the last over, they only needed 5 runs in 1 over, which they were able to collect very easily. The match would have been difficult for Brisbane Heat if Matt Renshaw had not been able to score 54 runs in 27 balls. It can be said that he was the reason for the victory in the match. Nathan McSweeney's contribution cannot be denied as he remained unbeaten on 78 runs in the entire innings while holding one end. If these two important wickets had fallen quickly, Adelaide Strikers might have won today's match.
