No prizes for guessing. Doggett is the Player of the Match. Heat are up to second on the points table. Hope you enjoyed our coverage. You can hop around for plenty of action from Newlands. There's plenty of analysis, the lunch bulletin and of course videos, if that is your fancy. Ta!

Perth Scorchers' winning run of four matches has been halted. At the halfway mark, it looked like 192 may be a little too steep, and that is exactly how it panned out. Losing a clutch of wickets upfront derailed this chase. Despite the presence of some hitters lower down, the dents created by the early losses proved too much to handle.

Pranav Joshi: "Lynn's inclusion have certainly made a great impact on Heat but don't forget McCullum's aggressive captaincy which is a great influence on the team also."

Doggett to Paris, OUT

swung away, gets more elevation than distance. Deep midwicket and long-on converged. each looking at the other briefly, but safely taken by Gannon. at coming in from deep midwicket. All over, this has been as comprehensive as a win can get for Brisbane Heat. Five wickets for Doggett

W
Doggett to Tye, OUT

looks to flick this leg side but the ball slants back in to beat his swing and trap him plumb in front of middle. By trying to premeditate, he was left hoping this was a full delivery but this skidded through off length, kept just a touch low to hit him right in front of the stumps

trying to be too clever, but is beaten for pace. Backed away to help this length ball past the keeper, but missed it as the off stump is pegged back.

backed away, the bowler followed him with the short ball but he still managed to make some room and ramp this over the keeper's head. Excellent improvisation

Doggett to Inglis, OUT

this was a swirler, but deep square settles underneath that mistimed pull shot to take it easy. The wheels are well and truly coming off the chase
