It was all over once Christian got run out. Brisbane Heat continue to languish at the bottom of the table. Cooper is peaking at the right time for Adelaide Strikers. With five teams on four points, the Net Run Rate will certainly help the Adelaide Strikers. Thats it from all of us here. Join us tomorrow for the game between Melbourne Stars and Perth Scorchers
