As for the match, James Bazley’s blazing 27-ball 44 helped Brisbane Heat post 150/8 in 20 overs despite Nathan Ellis’ 3/41. In response, Hobart Hurricanes could only manage 136/8 with Xavier Bartlett scalping four wickets for 30 runs and Afghanistan’s young spinner Mujeeb Ur Rahman returning with 3/20 in his four overs. Brisbane Heat won the match by 14 runs.
However, not all crowd catches go exactly according to plans. In another Hobart Hurricanes match against Perth Scorchers, a young fan was left with a bloodied forehead. He tried to catch but it hit him right on the forehead.

The fan immediately crashed to the ground with a lot of blood when the camera panned towards his face. “Oh no. He’s got a bit of blood. We need some medic. He didn’t even realise,” the commentator said. The medic team quickly assisted the fan.
