The duo headlined a five-wicket victory over Melbourne Renegades after Heat crossed the border from NSW at 2am on match day
Brisbane Heat 5 for 141 (Heazlett 44, Lynn 32, Khan 2-27) beat Melbourne Renegades 6 for 140 (Harvey 71, Bazley 3-28) by five wickets
The win comes after Heat left the northern New South Wales town of Kingscliff, where they had been staying following last week’s loss to Perth Scorchers in Western Australia, and crossed the border at 2am on Monday before reaching their hotel two hours later.
Sent in to bat by Heat captain Jimmy Peirson, Renegades had plenty to be thankful towards Harvey for after he top-scored, off 56 balls. He was the only Renegades batter to pass 20 in a innings where the Heat bowlers Liam Guthrie (0 for 10) and Mujeeb Ur Rahman (0 for 19) bowled their four overs each without conceding a boundary.
Legspinner Mitch Swepson and English Lions batter Tom Abell added to Heat’s line-up after participating in the four-day tour game at Brisbane’s Ian Healy Oval, where Australia A defeated the Lions by 112 runs.
Swepson, in tandem with Mujeeb, tied down the Renegades in the first half of their innings, as they went from the end of the third over until the 11th without scoring a boundary.
Brisbane next play Sydney Thunder at the Gabba on Sunday with Renegades’ next match at home against Scorchers on December 22.
