Liam Guthrie earned an unwanted BBL honour as a record Joe Clarke and Hilton Cartwright partnership powered Melbourne Stars to 207 against the Brisbane Heat at the Gabba.
Heat bowler Guthrie's night started with the wicket of former Brisbane batter Joe Burns, the Stars also losing Marcus Stoinis (0) and Glenn Maxwell (2) to fall to 3-16.
But it finished with him claiming 2-70 - the most expensive figures in BBL history.
Opener Clarke (85 off 44) wasn't bothered by the early exits and in Hilton Cartwright (79 off 44) found a willing partner, the pair combining for a fourth-wicket BBL record partnership of 151.
There were few signs of what was to come until Cartwright brutally slapped a free hit straight into the sightscreen.
He brought up his 50 off 31 balls with a more eloquent straight drive into the same sightscreen and finished with eight sixes and just one four in his power-packed knock.
English recruit Clarke matched the former Test allrounder, a crisp clip over midwicket bringing up a 27-ball 50.
He hit a four and another six in a 20-run Guthrie over.
Without a sixth bowling option, Guthrie returned to bowl his final over and was taken for another 23 runs, bowling four wides and dismissing Cartwright with his final ball.
His 2-70 was easily the most expensive spell in BBL history, beating Ben Dwarshuis's 0-61 against the Stars two years ago.
They took 34 off the two power surge overs but wickets fell again once they departed, the Stars still scraping beyond 200 thanks to a late cameo from Qais Ahmad (16).
