Pomersbach cracked the fastest 50 of the contest as the Brisbane Heat thrash Hobart Hurricanes by eight wickets to set up a date with Melbourne Renegades at Etihad Stadium on Tuesday.
Chasing the Hobart Hurricanes below par 3 for 150, the Brisbane Heat made a mockery of Hobart's battle with what had appeared a sticky Bellerive pitch to reach the target in just 14.1 overs.
Luke Pomersbach's 50 came from just 24 balls and his 82 off 42 included with 13 fours and two sixes. The Brisbane Heat finish the regular season equal on eight points with the Hobart Hurricanes and Adelaide Strikers but with a greater net run rate.
Fast Bowler Doug Bollinger (1 for 41) went for 27 from his 1st two and Jason Krejza wasn't sighted again after taking 0-31 from his first two. Peter Forrest (18 off 11) was caught in the deep off Bollinger but the onslaught continued and in form bowler Ben Laughlin was dispatched for 20 from his 1st over.
Luke Pomersbach and Joe Burns unbeaten 41 runs from 27 put on 107 from 55 balls to demolish the Hobart Hurricanes finals hopes. Hobart Hurricanes needed a late grow from Jonathan Wells (40 off 24) and Englishman Owais Shah (32 off 28) to make their score competitive.
The Hobart Hurricanes had hurt their way to 3 for 84 before Wells and Shah put on 66 runs from 42 deliveries. The Hobart Hurricanes managed just a one six, hit by Ricky Ponting (17 off 16), with miserly Heat, skipper James Hopes bowling a tight 1 for 18 from his four overs while Dan Christian grabed 2 for 32.
