Brisbane Heat had a horrible start after being put into bat by hosts Adelaide Strikers in the Big Bash League on Wednesday.

Chris Lynn

Chris Lynn piled further misery on the visitors with an extraordinary effort in the next over to see the back of in-form batsman Matt Renshaw. After guiding a good length delivery from Scott towards backwards point, Max Bryant immediately called for a single.

Renshaw responded instantly, with Chris Lynn sprinting in and hurling the ball towards the stumps with a diving throw. The left-handed batsman looked safe in real time, just as the ball hit the timber and the bails were dislodged, but the replays had a different story to tell.

Renshaw looked confident as the bowler began his walk back to his mark and the fielders quickly shifted fields for the left-hander. But the replay caught everyone by surprise, as the first iteration was close and in the batter’s favour.

But the slow-motion replay shown the batter behind the line, and that was followed by loud cheers from the crowd. The teammates were a happy lot as they rushed to congratulate the veteran player for his stupendous effort. Twitter was in awe of the 35-year-old Lynn’s acrobatics as the Heat’s freefall continued.

Chennai Super Kings have received encouraging signals ahead of the IPL 2026 season as their all-rounder Jamie Overton continues to deliver impressive performances in the ongoing BBL 2025–26.

The English cricketer displayed his excellent form during Adelaide Strikers’ match against Brisbane Heat at the Adelaide Oval on Wednesday, December 31.

Jamie Overton makes CSK fans happy

The 31-year old all-rounder played a key role with the ball. Representing Adelaide Strikers, Overton finished with excellent bowling figures of 3 wickets for 19 runs in his four overs. After Strikers chose to bowl first, he immediately put pressure on the Heat batters with his pace and accuracy.

Overton struck early by dismissing Jack Wildermuth, who managed only 5 runs. Soon after, he continued his attacking spell by removing Hugh Weibgen, who had looked settled at 28 runs.

Later, Overton claimed his third wicket by rejecting Brisbane Heat captain Xavier Bartlett, who scored 19 runs off just 10 balls. These timely breakthroughs played a major role in restricting the Heat to a low total.

This performance is particularly good news for CSK, who purchased Overton for ₹1.50 crore in the 2024 IPL auction and later retained him. CSK’s decision to show confidence in the fast-bowling all-rounder now seems well justified, as he has been performing consistently in different conditions.

Looking at his overall BBL campaign so far, Overton has taken six wickets in four innings. Additionally, he has contributed with the bat, scoring 51 runs in 3 innings at a healthy strike rate of 134.21.

Furthermore,

Overton was also in excellent form before the BBL. During England’s ODI series against New Zealand, he scored 156 runs in 3 innings and picked up 3 wickets, proving his ability to perform at the international level as well. All these performances suggest that he is currently in top form.

As for the match itself, Brisbane Heat were bowling out for 121 runs in 19.4 overs. Matthew Kuhnemann fought hard with an unbeaten 31, while Hugh Weibgen added 28 runs.
