258 Target that Brisbane Heat chased down against Perth Scorchers is the third-highest successful chase in T20 cricket. 262 by Punjab Kings against Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL 2024 and 259 by South Africa against West Indies in 2023 are the top two chases.
This is also the highest successful chase in the BBL, bettering the 230-run chase by Adelaide Strikers against Hobart Hurricanes in 2022-23.
1 Number of T20 totals in Australia, higher than the 258 for 2 by Heat against Scorchers. The 273 for 2 by Melbourne Stars against Hurricanes in the BBL 2021-22 is the highest. The 257 for 6 by Scorchers in the first innings is now third on the same list.
1 Matt Renshaw and Jack Wildermuth became the first pair to score hundreds in a run chase in T20 cricket. They also recorded the first-ever instance of two batters scoring hundreds in a men's T20 match on Australian soil, let alone in the same innings.
212 The second-wicket partnership between Renshaw and Wildermuth is the highest stand for any wicket in the BBL. They bettered the opening stand of 207 between Marcus Stoinis and Hilton Cartwright for Stars against Sydney Sixers in 2019-20.
18 Number of sixes hit by Heat and Scorchers each at the Gabba, the joint-most by any team in a BBL game. The previous highest was 17, by Scorchers against Stars in 2022-23.
The two teams together hit 36 sixes, also a BBL record, ten more than the previous highest of 26, achieved on two occasions.
515 Runs scored by Heat and Scorchers in Brisbane, the joint-sixth highest match aggregate in T20 cricket. It is also only the sixth T20 game in which both teams posted 250-plus totals.
This is also the first-ever BBL match with an aggregate of 500-plus runs and the first such T20 match in Australia. The previous highest was 459 runs during the BBL 2022-23 game between Strikers and Hurricanes at Adelaide Oval.
10 Number of bowlers who conceded 40-plus runs on Friday in Brisbane, the most for any T20 match. The previous most was nine in the CPL 2019 game between Jamaica Tallawahs and Trinbago Knight Riders.
Cooper Connolly was the only one of the eleven bowlers from Friday to finish with an economy under ten. Connolly conceded only 12 runs in the two overs he bowled. Matthew Kuhnemann gave away 60 in his four overs, the most by a spinner in a BBL game.
8 Sixes conceded by Brody Couch in his three overs, where he was taken for 59 runs. These are the most sixes hit off a bowler in a BBL game. The previous most was seven sixes off Liam Guthrie by Stars in 2021-22.
Couch was taken for fifty runs in 2.2 overs, the second-quickest any bowler suffered that fate in BBL, after 2.1 overs by William Sheridan against Stars in 2013-14.
6 Runs that came off the 14th over of the chase, bowled by Connolly, including two runs through byes and leg-byes. It was the most economical over of the match and one of the four overs not to produce a boundary. All the remaining overs of the game yielded eight or more runs, the most such overs for any men's T20, where ball-by-ball data is available.
