Brisbane Heat win by four runs and that was a terrific contest. They are up to third for now and well placed for finals. What a few days Spencer Johnson has had. Huge emotion from him after sending down that last ball. Terrific story. The home side get it done. Was set up by the superb stand between Sam Hain and Jimmy Peirson. Then the spinners played a key role before Johnson's finishing effort. Fair play to the Stars, a team with nothing to play for but on a decent show. A big afternoon at the Gabba.
We've got more BBL to come shortly as well with Perth Scorchers verses Melbourne Renegades. Alex and I will be back to bring you that in just over an hour, but for now it's goodbye and thanks for joining us

Johnson to Stoinis, 1 run, a straight full toss, heaved down the ground. Johnson does it again! What an effort from the left-armer
Stoinis needs a six off the last ball to win it

Johnson to Stoinis, FOUR, moves across the crease to a short of a length delivery and pulls calmly over short fine leg. Superb batting
What a finish we have: 14 off 6 balls. Spencer Johnson to bowl. Mid-off and short fine are inside the ring
