Big Bash League 2023-24
‘Excellent performance’ – Fans react as Ben Dwarshuis takes 5 wicket haul in the BBL Qualifier
Sydney Sixer’s star bowler, Ben Dwarshuis takes a 5-wicket haul in the Big Bash League qualifier against Brisbane Heat. The match-winning haul came in front of the sold-out Canarra Stadium where the wickets were quite tricky. The Sixers beat the Heat by 39 runs to secure a place in the finals. As the Sixers had 153 runs to defend, their bowlers did an amazing job in restricting the opponent to just 113. Dwarshuis’ bowling figures in the match were 5-21.
He managed to dismiss the dangerous batters of the team and give the team an early breakthrough. Jack Edwards and Hayden Kerr contributed to the Sixers’ win with two wickets each. Not only batting and bowling, the team did extremely well in the fielding sector as well. They gave their everything to the game and eventually ended up on the winning side.
Sixers’ captain, Moises Henriques played a captain’s knock of 59 runs which gave the bowlers a chance to defend. Moreover, the Heat were bowled out with 13 balls to spare. None of their batters contributed throughout the match and thus lost the match.
‘I got the rewards but everyone bowled well’ – Ben Dwarshuis happy after his performance
Ben Dwarshuis was happy about the collective efforts shown by the Sydney Sixers to win the qualifier against the Brisbane Heat. Post the match, he talked about their plans and how the wicket behaved. Moreover, their batting first helped them judge the wicket a bit more which gave them amazing results.
Dwarshuis said, “It’s pretty amazing. We set a competitive total and to go out there and do it, I got the rewards but everyone bowled well. The wicket was a little bit two-paced and it had a bit of variable bounce. We had the benefit of watching the Heat guys bowl. Our plan was simple: use the wicket as we can. Always nice to see the ball moving around, you don’t see it a lot in T20 cricket but when it does happen it’s nice. It’s amazing.”

Whoa, Sydney's gonna be lit! But hey, isn't bowling a smidge too easy for Dwarshuis? Maybe mix it up with twirling while bowling?
