Incredible batting from Chris Lynn. He had a some luck late but even to get them to a position of having a chance was a feat in itself. Just a staggering innings from Lynn. No doubt about the man of the match.

Lynn: "Cricket is a funny game. It was a bit of a roller coaster."

"I knew they had to bring quicks back at the end so I had to be patient against the spin in the middle."

The Thunder will kick themselves for the number of dropped catches. They now slump to 0-3 while the Heat are 2 from 2.
