END OF OVER:
20 | 9 Runs | BH: 160/7 | RR: 8.00

  • Beau Webster2-0-22-0
  • Liam Hatcher4-0-29-2

Phew, what a finish that was. Brisbane Heat win by three wickets and their season is still alive. Melbourne Stars stay bottom of the table. A terrific innings from Matt Renshaw, it nearly went wrong at the end but that's as well as I've seen him play in T20. Heat shouldn't really have let it get so close, although all that matters is the win. They remain seventh, but are close to the group of sides on 10 points

Afeef: "Takes a lot of guts to attempt to scoop when it's 4 needed from the last ball, and takes a lot of skill to execute it. Brilliant shot to cap off a great innings by Renshaw."

I'll wrap things up there for tonight. We'll be back tomorrow for more BBL with Sydney Sixers against Adelaide Strikers in the race for finals. Until then, from Peter and Gnasher, it's goodbye

Webster to Renshaw, FOUR, scooped to fine leg! And Renshaw has won it in incredible style. What a stroke for victory. Calmly goes across his stumps, gets the length he wanted, and gets just enough to reach the rope

Four needed off the last. Phew

Webster to Renshaw, 2 runs, full, carved high into the night sky and it lands safely...gets back for the second

Webster pulls out as Kuhnemann backs up too far! More drama

Webster to Renshaw, no run, goes across the crease, gets into a tangle and it pops off the top edge, lands safely behind him. They don't run!

Webster to Renshaw, 1 wide, oh no! It's a wide down the leg side

So it's 9 off 6 balls. Who will bowl? Beau Webster. Qazi: "None of the teams want to win. What should one do in such a situation?" Five inside the circle

18.3
1
Hatcher to Renshaw, 1 run, full outside leg stump and it's clipped to deep midwicket, may have got away with that one

W
Hatcher to Neser, OUT, direct hit from mid-on! Must be out. Neser drilled a low full toss straight to mid-on and Webster produced the powerful throw. Neser well short
