Brisbane Heat etched their names into the record books by completing a miraculous run chase in the Big Bash League (BBL) 2025-2026 that stunned the cricketing world. Facing a monumental target of 258 against the Perth Scorchers at the Gabba, the Heat surged to an eight-wicket victory in the sixth game of the 2025-26 Big Bash League season. The match was a historic display of power hitting, with both teams combining for a massive 515 runs and 36 sixes, setting a new record for the highest successful run chase in BBL history.
The chase was defined by a legendary partnership between Jack Wildermuth and Matt Renshaw, who produced a batting masterclass under immense pressure. Wildermuth remained unbeaten with a sensational 110, while Renshaw contributed a brilliant 102. Their 212-run stand for the second wicket, achieved in just 95 balls, now stands as the highest partnership ever recorded in the BBL. This extraordinary performance marked the first time in the history of the league that two centuries were scored in the same match.
Beyond local records, the game also made a significant mark on the global stage. For the first time in the history of T20 cricket, two batters from the same team scored centuries during a single run chase. The Brisbane Heat's feat now ranks as the third-highest successful chase in the history of T20 cricket worldwide. The 36 sixes struck during the contest also set a new benchmark for the most maximums ever hit in a single Big Bash League fixture, leaving the Gabba crowd witness to a truly unprecedented spectacle.
