11.01pm Comprehensive win for the Scorchers, who are through to the final, yet again. They've beaten the Heat by 49 runs (DLS method), which is a massive margin in an 18-over game. Gnasher will be back with you for the presentations.
"We've played a lot of good cricket," says Player of the Match Liam Livingstone. "Think we deserve to be there."
Ashton Turner: "It doesn't always happen like this but great when it does. I wasn't required to do much. I thought we were clinical tonight. To put on a performance like that is very pleasing. The way we approached the game was excellent, there were so many things going on during the week away from cricket. They [Sixers] are a quality team and we have a lot of respect for them. We'll have to come well prepared. We can't wait for Saturday night."
I'll wrap things up there for tonight. Thanks for joining us and we'll see you for the final in a couple of days.
