Brisbane Heat require 163 runs to win the match

Thanks to significant runs from Harper and Webster in the middle, the Melbourne Stars will be satisfied with the total. They had a strong start to the innings thanks to Clarke, and Stoinis and Cartwright also made contributions in the middle of the game. With three wickets, Bartlett was the Heat's leading man. Swepson took a wicket and was likewise extremely economical. The last three BBL games, in which all of the victorious teams batted second, could serve as inspiration for the Brisbane Heat. However, a new day means a fresh game. In the second inning, we'll see how the Heat do.

Sidd: "Would like to have seen the youngster Whitney bowl out over someone who went for 13s" I was expecting the same too, Sidd. The captain, however, was thinking of other things.
