short ball on middle, gets big on him, somehow manages to get some bat on it as it lobs wide of the wicketkeeper

Hope you enjoyed the coverage as much as we enjoyed bringing it to you. Until next time, it's goodbye from here. Cheers!
Samuel Badree has been named Player of the Match for his 5 for 22.
Moment of the evening then? Has to easily be the five successive, and big ones too, that Chris Lynn muscled off Ben Hilfenhaus to give the Heat a head start. There were plenty of other moments too with the bat, but none as enterprising as this. Then, Samuel Badree bowled a dream spell first up to become only the fourth bowler in BBL history to take a five-wicket haul that derailed the Stars' chase.
The race for the top four is still on. Renegades and Thunder still in with a chance of sneaking into the top four. For now, lets doff our hats to James Hopes, who finishes his career with the Brisbane Heat today, although he's expected to see off the entire domestic season before calling quits from all forms of cricket.
Didn't think they would last the 20 overs when they lost five wickets for next to nothing. But in doing so, the Melbourne Stars have managed to give their net run-rate some fillip. But that can't hide the thumping Brisbane Heat have given them as they finish off their season with three wins in four games. It also brings to an end the Stars' four-game winning streak.

Fekete to Gulbis, FOUR runs
pulled handsomely into the gap at deep square. Short, he shaped to pull and picked the bones out of that one

Fekete to Gulbis, FOUR runs
length ball on middle, he backs away, creates room and runs it into the gap between point and short third man. So their NRR will go into the positives, by only just

Fekete to Beer, 1 run
slower one on off, runs it down to third man
They ran the second to perhaps to get the NRR to 0 by getting to 126? Only time will tell.

Lalor to Worrall, OUT
that's another corker! Full, straight at pace and boom! By the time the bat came down, the zing bails were flying in the air. Played around the delivery and paid the price for it.

Lalor to Worrall, no run
slower one on off, dabs it to the off side, the non-striker was halfway down the pitch when he was sent back, he would have been on the bike had the throw hit direct at the bowler's end

Lalor to Hilfenhaus, OUT
that is the ball of the day. Wasim Akram would have been proud of that. Full and tailing away late, right into the blockhole, Hilfy plays all around it, misses and the ball brushes the top of his right boot and hits off stump. He was off balance because of the pace too

Hopes to Gulbis, no run
cuts and misses. Looked to play it behind point, deceived by the slower one
Jacob: "The impact of losing players to national squad is bigger than any of us have thought. Stars have lost most their entire bowling lineup and some great hitters in Maxwell, Faulkner, Boland and Hastings and the margin reflected that. "

Hopes to Gulbis, FOUR runs
poor ball and has been picked away. Full toss on off, he walks across, uses the pace and turns that full toss over short fine leg.

Lalor to Hilfenhaus, 1 run
short of length on middle, dabs it to the off side but takes off for a run that wasn't on, Lynn at mid-off came flying in, and had the stumps been hit direct at the bowler's end, Hilfy would have been hobbling back. Lazy running, but gets away
