The Heat keep themselves in the finals hunt with a 26-run win. They claim all four points and move up to fourth on the table for now although that could change tonight. Chris Lynn and Max Bryant set the game up at the top of the order with a return to form and Marnus Labuschagne played well to help the Heat set a winning total. They defended it well with Swepson, Laughlin and Labuschagne bowling particularly well. Sam Harper made a half-century but he didn't get much support.

Marnus Labuschagne is Player of the Match for the first time his his T20 career or his 49 off 31 and 1 for 10.
