In the last ball thriller, Hobart Hurricanes defeated Brisbane Heat in the 20th mat🐻ch of the ongoing Big Bash Le⛦ague (BBL) 2020-21 at the iconic Gabba in Brisbane.

Chasing 151, Heat had an awful start as they lost opening batsman Sam Heazlett for a duck in the very first over. As if this wasn’t enough, Heat lost two more wickets in quick succession, and suddenly they were struggling at 8/3 inside three overs.

Then Max Bryant (32) and Lewis Gregory (29) tried to stabilize the innings by forming a much-needed partnership. The duo stitched a crucial 52-run stand for the fourth wicket before Keemo Paul dismissed Bryant in the 9th over.

One over later, Gregory also went back to the dugout after he top-edged the 150 kmph delivery bowled by Riley Meredith and Wicketkeeper Ben McDermott took a simple catch.

James Bazley then took over the charge and almost guided his team over the finish line. He scored unbeaten 49 off 31 balls laced up with 4 fours and two sixes. However, the last ball drama ended the hopes of Heat as Mark Steketee gꦬot run out and Hurricanes won the game by a 💦mere 1 run.

Mujeeb restricted Hurricanes to 150

Earlier, Mujeeb Ur Rahman picked his maiden five-wicket haul to restrict Hurricanes at 150. Put to bat first, Hurricanes got off to a terrible start as they lost D’Arcy Short on the second ball of the match.

No.1 T20I batsman Dawid Malan looked in good touch as he contributed with a crucial 39 off 32 balls before Mujeeb cleaned him up. 𝔍Malan slammed four fours, and a six. He was also the top-scorer for Hurricanes.

Skipper Peter Handscomb and middle-order batter Colin Ingram got starts but failed to convert them into a big one. Tim David scored a quickfire 17-ball 36 with the help of two fours and three maximums to push the team’s total to 150.

Mujeeb dismantled Heat’s batting unit as he finished the proceedings with five wickets for 15 runs in his quota of 4 overs.

Mark Steketee run out off last ball going for tying run
Last time a player was run out on the final ball of a match when going for the tying run was Heat v Renegades in – Steketee faced the final ball in that game as well (but wasn't the player run out)

Mujeeb's role change reaping huge rewards for Heat.
3 w⛄ickets in ♚6 games last season when he was a power play bowler.
Now being used in middle/end of innings and cleaning﷽ up teams.

That's the first five-wicket haul of Mujeeb's T20 career. Daresay it won't be the last

Was probably the best game of the season. Gotta feel for Bri🅰sbanওe Heat, they fell just 1 run short against Hobart Hurricanes.

Watching Dawid Malan bat is a dream. His T20 skills are impe🔯ccable.

Second time watching Max Bryant and he can hit a✨ long ball!
— Sips Ngoba Ngimnandi (@TheGreatGabayi)

Max Bryant hits a lovely clean ball, but man he needs to learn when to pull back. Even in T20 there’s still a need to shift up and do♑wn the gears.
