Marsh's innings was well supported by Liam Livingstone who scored 39 off 31 and after his departure, Bancroft scored a quickfire 41 off 29 deliveries. Brisbane Heat got off to a good start courtesy of Tom Banton who was playing his last BBL match of the season.

Jhye Richardson, Joel Paris and Chris Jordan picked up 2 wickets each to plunder Heat's batting line-up.

Pattison was not spared either as he went for 52 runs in his first BBL game of the season. Mitchel Marsh was adjudged the Player of the Match for his heroics. Netizens were also left in awe of Marsh's innings. Here are a few of the reactions:
