Dan: "Maxwell is proving himself to be the best white ball captain around. Stoinis did well, so did Bravo, but Maxwell's captaincy won that game."
10.30pm What a win for Stars. At one stage, it looked like Heat were cruising towards victory; they needed 35 off 30 with six wickets in hand. But they couldn't find those couple of boundaries when needed and in the end, left it too late. Stoinis starred with 4 for 21, while Bravo was also magnificent at the death. In the end, Heat fell short by five runs.
