Player of the Match
Max Bryant | Brisbane Heat
Yeah, I think we had wickets in hand there at the last 4 or 5 overs. It’s a pretty nice place to be at. Xavier came out and took a bit of pressure off me at the end there. Credit to him that that gave me the, I guess, the release to go out there and he just kind of did well for us and it worked out tonight.
Yeah, we said before the game, it’s pretty much a do or die. We don’t want to lose here at the Gabba. We made it 3 for 3 here and hopefully, hopefully we go 5 and 5 to go in the Finals. That’d be perfect.
