3.52pm  Earlier in the game, the Sixers scored over 140 runs, but they struggled to build momentum due to a lack of support for key batters like Philippe and Edwards. The Heat's bowling was commendable, as they adapted to the slow pitch and consistently took wickets to keep the Sixers in check. The spinners, in particular, performed well for them.

3.52pm  The Sydney Sixers bowled really well and gave the Heat a tough fight! They lost by a narrow margin. Jack Edwards, Sean Abbott, Steve O'Keefe, and Ben Dwarshuis picked up a wicket each, while Todd Murphy and Tom Curran were wicketless. They will look to bounce back and come back strong in their following game.

3.50pm  A hard-fought win for the Brisbane Heat! They started off well but lost Munro early on. Josh Brown kept on going alongside Nathan McSweeney. Once Brown fell after his 43, Renshaw and Billings soon followed suit. We had a slight delay after that, when Brisbane Heat were just behind by two runs. Once they came back on, Walter and McSweeney made sure they were ahead of the DLS par score.
