Siddharth: "Dilbar had a bad debut outing, but hey, you'd take that if your maiden wicket is ABD. "

8.30pm The Heat finish on 186 for 5, 88 of those coming in the last six overs as de Villiers went berserk after a quiet start. He was well supported by Labuschagne, who too struck an unbeaten 24 off 13 balls. But the star of the night was de Villiers, hitting six sixes and two fours in his 37-ball 71. For the Stars, Zampa picked up 3 for 27. We will be back in a bit for the chase, stay tuned.

Adnan: "Commentators keep saying they don't understand why Labuschagne is sent so much down etc. Look at his strike rate and record for T20s his T20s Average is 6.42 ! Fair enough he's in form but he still have to prove himself in T20s" -- Fair point but a very small sample size as well
