Renegades remain stuck to the bottom of the table while the Heat pick up maximum points today to create a deadlock with the Strikers and Scorches on 20 points as the trio continue chasing both Sydney franchises leading the pack this tournament. That's all from us today. Come back tomorrow for more BBL action. Take care!

Joe Burns is named Man of the Match: "I just try and be clear with what my options are and just commit to them. Fortunately I got a few boundaries away. It's tough without any fans in the ground. I think it was low and slow before the sun went down and think it got better once the dew came in. We've made a commitment to just trying to be a little bit smarter with how we play. If you take the game as deep as possible, you have a chance of winning some more games. We're on to Melbourne now with slower wickets so this was a good appetizer. Morne scares the bejeezus out of me in the nets so it's good to see him bow at someone else for once."

10:24 pm For a brief moment it looked like the Renegades might steal a win and just as quickly Joe Burns snuffed that out.

Poor end to the over by Hatzoglou. Had the Heat under pressure with the wicket and then released it badly with two boundaries in three balls to end the frame. Just 22 off 18 needed now.

Hatzoglou to Bazley, OUT, Bazley charges second ball and gets caught up in the moment. Didn't really need to do this and Hatzoglou defeats him by dragging it very short on middle. Bazley tries to swat this and misses, keeper collects almost at neck height it was so short before he whips off the bails.
