Full commentary

Brisbane Heat were never in the game after they finished on 139 from 20 overs. An excellent knock from Haddin, who is in top form, striking well and Sixers wrap up the first game and take the 2 points. Do join us again tomorrow for the second game between Melbourne Stars and Sydney Thunder, until then have fun.
