Joel Davies left arm angle, he tightened the squeeze as he pulled out Xavier Bartlett and Matthew Kuhnemann returning 2 for 19 from his full quota leading to a collapse from 72/6 to 74/8 in quick succession. with Lachlan Hearne 1 for lbw, Matt Renshaw Dismissed for 2 and It was Patterson Unbeaten at 6 from 9, the Heat’s projected total hovered around a paltry 104, underscoring how comprehensively the Sixers’ offense dictated the terms.
