and that is it! Incredible comeback as Marsh just lofts this one straight back over the bowler's head, easy as you like

Full commentary
That is just an incredible final six deliveries. The Scorechers needed 28 off 10 and have done it with four balls to spare. Coulter-Nile the hero with his 23 off 6 completely changing the momentum of the game.
Coulter-Nile had earlier gone at 13 runs an over off his 3 overs, but he more than made up for it with his power hitting against Dan Christian. Lynn impressed earlier in the game with 51 off 29 and Christian chipped in with 37 off 31.
Hopes and Roach bolwed well for the Heat, but the Scorchers did well to win this ran-affected match.
Probably not surprisingly, Coulter-Nile has been named man of the match. Thanks for your company tonight. Please join me again tomorrow night as the Melbourne Renegades take on the Hobart Hurricanes at Etihad Stadium. Good night
