A fantastic platform laid by Max Bryant (65) and a useful cameo by Matt Renshaw (30) in the middle-overs along with the handy performance by Ben Cutting (18) helped the Heat to reach their highest score ever in BBL.
Our highest total in @BBL History 👊

Before the start of the match, Lynn pledged support for victims of bushfires ragging around Australia and decided to donate 250 Australian dollars.
“Hey Guys, for every six I hit in this year’s Big Bash League, I will donate $250 towards the Red Cross Bushfire Appeal,” tweeted Lynn.

In the match, Heat scored 212-3 in their allotted 20 overs. Chasing the gigantic score was always tricky, and Hurricanes felt the pressure as well. No batsmen were able to score big, and Hurricanes could only post 181-9 and lost the game by 31 runs.
Strong win in Hobart 👊
Our lads may have been heroes again tonight, but the real heroes are the men & women continuing to fight these terrible bush fires across the country ❤️#BringTheHeat #BBL09 pic.twitter.com/HojpGcPKRr
