Watch: Sharp Chris Lynn run out Matt Renshaw

Max Bryant pushed the ball to the point and ran for a single, while Chris Lynn quickly went for the ball and threw at the striker-end stumps, as the ball directly hit the stumps, while Matt Renshaw went in danger of losing his wicket. 

In the TV review, Renshaw was out as his bat was just behind the crease, while the ball hit the stumps, and the bails were off the wicket. Renshaw was dismissed for only six runs, as Heat lost four wickets for only 20 runs in 5.3 overs.

WOW! 😳 Chris Lynn! 👑

Brisbane Heat were bundled out for only 121 runs in 19.4 overs. Only two batters managed to reach the 20-run mark in that innings. While Matthew Kuhnemann scored 31 not out off 22 balls with one four and three sixes, Hugh Weibgen scored 28 off 33 balls with one four and one six. 

The Heat were once battling at only 21/5 in six overs. Due to some late performances, Heat managed to score 100+ runs in the first innings. While the top five batters failed to reach double-digit scores, the next four batters managed to score double-digit runs. 

Among the Strikers, Jamie Overton got three wickets (3/19), Liam Scott (2/12) and Hasan Ali (2/29) picked up two wickets each.
