OTD | Brisbane Heat won their first BBL title in 11 years in 2024 

Spencer Johnson had an outstanding day with the ball as the Brisbane Heat defeated the Sydney Sixers in the final and earned their second Big Bash League title. In the final game, Spencer scored a career-high 4-26 as the Heats defeated the Sydney Sixers by 34 runs. For the first time in eleven years, the Brisbane Heat won the Big Bash after defeating the Sydney Sixers by a commanding 54 runs.

Brisbane set a competitive score thanks to Josh Brown’s half-century and Matthew Renshaw’s 40 off 22 balls. At the SCG, in front of a record-breaking crowd, Spencer Johnson recorded a career-high 4-26 as the Sixers were all out for 112. Josh Brown, who was sent in to bat at the Sydney Cricket Ground, hit 53 to help his team reach a respectable 166 for 8 from 20 overs. The Sixers were bowled out for 112 with 15 balls left.

Johnson and Michael Neser, another pacer, stopped the Sixers’ run pursuit by taking out openers. On one in the first powerplay, Daniel Hughes returned to the dressing room after Jack Edwards scored sixteen runs. The home captain, Moises Henriques, was dismissed for 25 off the bowling of Paul Walter, and the Heat celebrated as wickets fell in the middle overs on a sluggish pitch. After Johnson finished his spell with a caught and bowled that put Hayden Kerr out for six, Xavier Bartlett took two more wickets in the 18th over to complete the victory.

After a scorching playoff-winning century for the Heat against the Adelaide Strikers, Brown shot three sixes in his fifty before falling to spinner Steve O’Keefe. Brown overcame two difficult missed catches in the deep. The visitors’ half-century was put together by Matt Renshaw (40 off 22 balls) and Max Bryant (29 off 19), before seamer Sean Abbott (4-32) ended the innings with a triple strike in the last over. The Heat, who finished first in the regular season standings, took home the 2013 BBL title.
