Chris Lynn is the Man of the Match: "It can get a bit tricky but I think we've all played enough rain-affected games. When it kept raining, it kept landing in our favor with the ball getting wet. We're starting to click as a unit. We haven't been great in the field this year so it's been a real sticking point for us and today is the standard for the rest of the tournament for us now."

11.44 pm DLS proves to have a major influence on the chase. Heat win by 18 runs in the calculation. But the final overs would have been approached far differently had the target been 116 instead of 130. Maxwell's Stars were negatively affected by being forced to use a sixth bowler for the 10th over in the first innings.

JohnT: "@Danish - the DLS run boost is not the reason Stars lost this game, it was Andre Fletcher scoring 15 runs off 13 balls during the Power Play !"

Certainly there's no excuse for the Stars bungling their batting strategy chasing once the reply was reduced to 10 overs. Have to get your best batsmen facing the most deliveries so the concept of a specialist opener really flies out the window. Pooran or Maxwell should have opened with Stoinis, Pooran if you buy into the left-right disruption method.

Henk: "As I said 115 would have been a close game with a great chasing effort. DLS took the result out of reach"

Mathematically the match is over. Larkin showed no urgency to come back on strike.

Danish: "This scenario again proves why D/L needs overhauling..10 off the last over required turns in to 23 required for calculations way beyond most fans' understanding smh. "
