The Brisbane Heat achieved a dramatic three-run victory against the Hobart Hurricanes in Match 35 of the Big Bash League (BBL) 15 on January 14, 2026, largely due to a 'stunning' final over from Pakistani fast bowler Zaman Khan. After being sent in to bat, the Brisbane Heat posted a modest total of 160 for 8 in their allotted 20 overs. Nathan McSweeney contributed a significant 49 runs off 32 balls, supported by Matt Renshaw's 37 runs from 25 deliveries. In response, the Hobart Hurricanes seemed to be cruising towards victory, reaching 2-124 in the 15th over, anchored by half-centuries from Ben McDermott (59 off 36 balls) and Beau Webster (51 off 43 deliveries). However, a sudden collapse saw the Hurricanes lose four wickets for just seven runs in 13 balls, setting the stage for a nail-biting finish. With only six runs required off the final over and wickets in hand, Zaman Khan, who had conceded 27 runs in his first three overs, was tasked with defending the small target. Displaying nerves of steel, he delivered an exceptional over, conceding only two runs and securing a crucial wicket on the fifth ball. This 'ice-cool' performance restricted the Hurricanes to 157 for 8, handing the Brisbane Heat an improbable three-run 'come-from-behind' win. The victory is vital for the Brisbane Heat, keeping their playoff hopes alive in the ongoing BBL|15 season. Xavier Bartlett also played a key role for the Heat, taking three wickets.
