10.25pm First win of the season for the Heat, and it's a big one, by 48 runs. Their captain Chris Lynn led the way, as he so often does, with a blistering 94 off 35 balls, and the Sixers never looked close to getting to their target tonight. Hope you've enjoyed our coverage. Until next time, goodbye!
Lynn is the Player of the Match, as expected: "Probably one of my funnest innings. There was one where I batted with Baz in Perth too. We've got a break now, hopefully that break won't take away our momentum, and we can come back and win a few more. We were going into the tournament as favourites, and when you lose a couple, you start thinking, have we prepared right, was our blueprint right, but at no stage did we panic."

Cutting to Dwarshuis, 2 runs, full on leg stump, and he whips this past square leg, diving to his right, but deep midwicket runs across to his left to stop the boundary

Cutting to Dwarshuis, SIX, whacked. That sounded so good off the bat. In the slot, angling across to off stump, and Dwarshius clears his front leg and slogs it waaaay over the midwicket boundary

Cutting to Abbott, 1 run, short on off stump, pulled to deep square leg

Cutting to Dwarshuis, 1 run, in the blockhole on off stump, whipped to deep midwicket

Cutting to Dwarshuis, no run, slower ball, fullish and slanting away from off stump. Looks to slog over midwicket and misses

2
Cutting to Dwarshuis, 2 runs, back of a length, slanting across the left-hander. Looks for the leg-side slog and top-edges it high in the air, but it drops well short of long-on running in from the rope
Cutting to finish. Over the wicket to Dwarshius.
