The journey of Adelaide Strikers came to an end in the Big Bash League after the defeat against Brisbane Heat on Friday. Brisbane Heat beats Strikers by 6 wickets and knocked them out of the tournament in the Eliminator round.<\/p>\n
After winning the toss and batting first, the Adelaide Strikers sum up a small total of 131 in front of Heat. The good start of the openers couldn\u2019t be carried so far as after the ten overs the team scored even less than 6-runs per over. Alex Carey and Jake Weatherald added 40-runs the first 7 overs. Also, Weatherald who scored 32 runs for his team was the highest scorer in the first inning.<\/p>\n
Chasing a small total of 131, Brisbane Heat lost their openers for a cheap score but managed to survive the early setbacks. The partnership between Joe Denly (41) and Jimmy Pierson (47*) helped Brisbane to emerge from the three early wickets. Marnus Labuschagne also did his job very well with the bowl and picked three crucial wickets. He completed his spell with 3-13(4).<\/p>\n
With this, the Adelaide Strikers are out of the tournament and Brisbane Heat managed to stay in the race for the trophy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
