Brown's
innings was a masterclass in power hitting, as he repeatedly cleared the
boundary with ease. He received solid support from Matt Renshaw (40 off 22) and
Jimmy Peirson (28 off 19), but it was Brown's heroics that truly stole the
show.
The
victory was a redemption story for the Heat, who had lost to the Scorchers in
last year's final. It was also their first BBL title since the 2012-13 season,
