10:30 pm That's it from me tonight. Thanks for tuning in. Come back tomorrow for coverage of the doubleheader beginning at Adelaide Oval between the Adelaide Strikers and Sydney Sixers. I'm Peter Della Penna. Take care!
Man of the Match Liam Livingstone: "We needed this. I'm trying to work on my game to open up the off side as well but I'm sticking with what works over the last couple of years. [Playing the Heat] is a big game. Hopefully we can keep playing well, keep winning and build up momentum as the tournament goes on."
10:26 pm Scorchers draw back level with the Heat and Hurricanes on six points. Meanwhile the Renegades hopeless season continues as they remain winless from seven matches. Just not enough on the board for the hosts with the short square boundaries at Geelong.
