Probably get a shortened game.
Pre-toss, Heat 1.80 .... Scorchers win the toss, Heat drift to 1.90
without Voges (batter).
Run line .. rain affected 153
I think scorchers have been playing poorly, but, managed a win last time out, so, maybe can get a run together.
The weather map, doesn't look too bad .. CMM 1.34
Ball swinging early, but no rain yet. Start on time.
Wkt - Pomersbach 0 from 1, Scorchers 1.85
Lumpy likes Scorchers ... He's right.
Wkt - Hopes 5 from 4
Heat 5-2 after 1 over, Scorchers 1.57
Heat 15-2 after 2 overs, Scorchers 1.66 ... V fast outfield.
Heat 19-2 after 3 overs, Scorchers 1.77
Wkt - Burns 10 from 8, Scorchers 1.53
Heat 20-3 after 4, Scorchers 1.54
Heat 28-3 after 5, Scorchers 1.51
Heat 29-3 after 6, Scorchers 1.53
Heat 45-3 after 7, Scorchers 1.73. .. Chris Lynn, scoring 6.4.4
Heat 50-3 after 8, Scorchers 1.64
A few drops .. No fav, on CMM
Heat 68-3 after 9, Heat fav 1.98 ... CMM 1.8 No
Heat 81-3 after 10, Heat 1.63
Heat 97-3 after 11, Heat 1.34. CMM 1.80 No
Wkt - Lynn 51 from 28, great knock .. Heat 1.46 .. CMM 1.8 No
Heat 103-4 after 12, Heat 1.45
Heat 109-4 after 13, Heat 1.60 .. CMM 1.71 No .. Rain all around.
Off they go .. Lightning in background. Heat 1.67
If they don't come back,DL targets would be about :
51 from 5, 70 from 7, 88 from 9, 104 from 11.
Heavy band of rain going thru, but,better behind that. I think they will get back on, to finish.
8.00 local .. Radar looks much better, cut-off prob 9.30 .. CMM 1.43 Yes
Cut-off 9.12 local.
8.23 local, and umps out, but, v light rain, comes again. Radar is v positive, so, thou there's not that much time, still v hopeful. 1.64 Yes on CMM
8.33 local and light rain, which is not on radar. CMM no, went 1.6 fav, now Yes fav.
Some v jumpy moves, but CMM yes, now 1.40.. 8.45 local. Match odds, Heat 1.73
Looks like a 7 over chase .. Maybe 67 or so, even game, IMHO.
Sme v odd moves in this game .. For a protracted stop, the Heat was a freeish lay at 1.6x, chasing sides, who have 5 overs, always favoured.
Anyway, playt to resume at the cut-off, 9.12 .. Perth need 51.
Perth fav 1.74
Gibbs faces .. Looking past his prime.
Scorchers 5-0 after 1, Gibbs past it .. Thou Roach was quick.
Scorchers 16-0 after 2, Gibbs still past it.
Wkt - Gibbs caught on boundary , 9 from 9, in a 5 over chase isn't good enough.
Scorchers 22-1 after 3, Heat 1.30
Scorchers 43-1 after 4, scorchers 1.21 .. Need 8 from 6 .. Shows u now bad Gibbs was (Coulter-Nile hits 23 from 6 balls)
Scorchers win ..with 4 balls to spare .. odds go from 1.2 Heat, to 1.2 Scorchers, in 6 balls.
Won on both CMM and Match odds .. Happy days
On reflection, it also shows, how contrived D/L is .. chasing 51 in 5, with no regard to wkts, is just too easy a chase for the majority of sides .. the only question really, is how Heat stayed at 1.6x for so long, when it was known, a longly delay/DL chase was in the offing.
