Heat look very impressive. These two sides meet again in Perth on Saturday. But they lose Khawaja and Labuschagne. Scorchers will need to regroup after a long road trip that featured two losses. Thanks for your company tonight. Join us tomorrow as Hurricanes host Strikers in Hobart.

Michael Neser is predictably player of the match. Neser: "The coach was just saying trying and get 15 and go from there! Thankfully things worked out and I got a few more than 15. It was a flat wicket so I knew how hard it was going to be to bowl on and so I went a bit harder than I normally would."

10.15pm great win by the Heat. They claim top spot and will host the Qualifier on the Gold Coast with a chance to host the BBL final if they win. Heat were 91 for 5 with the bat and Michael Neser pulled them out of the fire with a BBL career best 30 ball 64 not out. Billings was superb too. Then Neser, Bartlett and Johnson were outstanding with the ball. Scorchers only threatened briefly when Inglis and Evans were together but Johnson took care of Inglis in the Surge with the help of a sensational catch from Neser and Evans was left with too much to do.

Ryan : "NESER. MOTM."

Andy C: "Scorchers' qualification remains to be confirmed and is not a foregone conclusion : they could well lose their last 2 games v Heat and Sixers (the best 2 teams alongside Scorchers). Stars and Strikers would each need to win their last 2 games, but that could well happen as they are all against teams below them. Which would mean 4th place would go to either Scorchers or Strikers on NRR, which would likely be Strikers"

Jrm: "Heat had to play out of their skin to beat this schorcher side. I am backing this perth team to win another bbl this year" Heat lose Khawaja, Labuschagne, Munro and Billings for the finals

Splinter: "Easiest MOTM ever, just give it to the guy that literally did it all."
