Match 1, KFC T20 Big Bash League 2018/2019, 19 Dec 2018

Off cutter back of a length, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, inside edge to silly point for 1 run, direct hit by Burns. That will settle it. The Strikers get their campaign off to the perfect start, with a comfortable five wicket victory. Rashid Khan the star with the ball, and Alex Carey stood out with the bat. The Heat didn't click tonight. The only shining light being Chris Lynn's quickfire 33.A terrific opener for this year's tournament, and the games will come thick and fast now. Tomorrow we have the Renegades up against the Scorchers.
