We have the Qualifier and the Knockout confirmed - Brisbane Heat will face Sydney Sixers at the Gold Coast on Friday and Perth Scorchers, who will finish third on the table to get the hosting rights for the Knockout, will face Adelaide Strikers at the Optus on Saturday. There's a game tomorrow but let's just lie down for a bit now and enjoy the thrills this game has offered...

Normt : "The Scorchers really need to overcome the very poor starts their opening batters are giving them. Eskinazi is not contributing at all "

Shubha: "6ers head into the qualifiers with lots of confidence and momentum. There are multi time Champs for some reasons, including their chasing ability like today "

Sujatha : "It wasn't see saw : the 6ers were always in the hunt. The last few overs (when wickets fell) just added to the thrill."

8:27pm That was unbelievable. Sixers began their chase with thorough pragmatism. Moises Henriques, who's speaking now, says he told the top four to not lose it in the powerplay and keep wickets back. They did that thanks to some luck along the way, which Henriques mentions. Vince was firm with his strokeplay, Hughes took on Morris first up to set the tone. With 65 for 6 off six, they were going strong. Hardie got Vince, which led to a quiet period. Despite that, they kept the asking rate under 12 and kept wickets in the shed. Hardie got Hughes and Henriques took it upon himself to get the odd boundary. Scorchers weren't letting go of their their fortress that easily, they slayed back in the last three overs that were a chaotic blur. But in the end, the skipper took Sixers home.

Hayes: "It only took about 10 years, but Henriques has finally exorcised those demons from the BBL3 final."

Daniel Hughes, POTM Right up there, hell of a game, hell of a knock from the skipper. He was cooked at the back end but was calm and got the job done. Heart rate was prolly 220 towards the end, didn't know if I wanted to cry, watch or what to do. So great to get a win over here, such a hard place to do it Rapt. Gold Coast was our basically home during covid. We played six or seven games, know it quite well. Will be a different challenge. Looking forward to it, we're pumped.

Vishal: "Moises Henriques just recreated the stadium scenes of what Pat Cummins did in 2023 WC finals!"

Hardie to Henriques, FOUR, Carved over short third, Moises has done it! Sixers will meet Heat at the Carrara. Cheers among the dugout, silence in the crowd. Sixers have come to Scorchers' den and drowned them out with a roar of their own! Lot of fielders in the ring on the off side, Hardie went into the pitch. Henriques made room and slashed, top edge took it over the infield

Long chat as expected. Surely everyone's gonna come in. Long-on and midwicket out
