Big Bash League: Brisbane Heat produced a night for the history books at the Gabba, pulling off the highest successful run chase in Big Bash League (BBL) history as they hunted down a target of 258 to beat Perth Scorchers with a ball to spare on Friday night.

The Heat finished their innings on 258/2, chasing 257, capping an incredible eight-wicket victory that will go down in league history as one of the best.

Matt Renshaw and Jack Wildermuth put together a record-breaking 212-run partnership, marking the first time in T20 cricket history that two batters scored hundreds in the same run chase. In a Friday night blitz at the Gabba, Brisbane defeated Perth's 257 in front of 24,277 spectators, defying the rules of the short format.
