Brisbane Heat fans thought they had the match in their grasp when Ashton Turner was run out in the 18th over after a terrible mix-up with Nick Hobson. The Scorchers still needed 40 off 20 at that stage, but young Cooper Connolly held his nerve with a quickfire 24*(10) and Hobson finished the game with a six and a four from two Michael Neser full tosses in the final over.
