BBL 2016/17: 5 key moments from the Brisbane Heat vs Perth Scorchers

#3 Agar and Tye dry up the runs

Agar went wicketless but was very economical, giving away just 18 runs in his 4 overs

With Heat’s top 3 – including the dangerous McCullum – back in the pavilion, the Scorchers were in a comfortable position, having pushed Brisbane Heat on the back foot very early into their innings.

However, with not much to defend, it was important for them to keep chugging away and not take the foot off the pedal.

Left-arm spinner Ashton Agar and medium pacer Andrew Tye ensured that runs would dry up in the middle overs with a very disciplined display of bowling. Bowling all of his 4 overs during this phase, Agar played a key role in the successful defence of the target by conceding just 18 runs in his spell despite being the only Scorchers bowler to go wicketless.
