Nick Hobson has given the home side a chance. Some superb hitting at the end. Heat wilted a little in the, well, heat but were very good for the most part. The chance offered by Hobson off a no-ball when he had 2 could prove key. But Heat know they are safe in the Qualifier final regardless. Scorchers' attack will fancy defending this on a pitch that has some life. Doesn't feel that short of par. Also very handy for Hobson and Connolly to have those innings under their belts. The win predictor has it 57-43 to Heat. Alex will be with you shortly for the chase.

Gav: "They didn't mention it on commentary, but Neser hurt his thumb stopping that half volley (before taking the great catch). Wonder if that's why he didn't bowl the last over. Crucial over that may turn out to be."

Manoj: "What is with this Perth team? Someone or the other comes and rescues them always. "
