And that wraps up an exciting 8-run win for the Melbourne Stars over the Brisbane Heat.

The Heat just left themselves with too much work to do late and despite a 55-run partnership between Harris and Neser at the end, they couldn't do enough to get over the line.



Clint McKay was brilliant with the ball with figures of 3/22 along with Shane Warne, who kept things tight in the middle overs when the game was on the line.

Earlier, Nathan Hauritz bowled very well to take 3/18 off four overs, brilliant figures in a T20 match while Rob Quiney was named Man of the Match for his hard hitting 97 off just 60 balls.



Thanks for your company tonight. Please do join us again tomorrow night for Hobart v Sydney Sixers from 6.30pm EDT. From me Andrew Fuss, good night
