7.20 pm Heat scrap out a 14-run win, their third in this BBL. Hurricanes three-match win streak is snapped. After the first hour, it looked like there was no way the Heat had a chance of winning, but James Bazley with a massive boost at the end of the first innings and Heat wind up claiming full points after Bartlett and Mujeeb dismantle the Hurricanes chase. D'Arcy Short's innings will come under plenty of scrutiny. Had he gotten out earlier with the way that Ellis and Rogers were hitting the ball, Hurricanes just may have won but Short chewed up an incredible amount of dot balls.
Heat bowler Xavier Bartlett after a career-best 4 for 30: "We made it hard for ourselves in the end again, but what a cracking game of cricket. I'm really enjoying my cricket back now and it's good to contribute to a win. [Peirson as captain] has been awesome for us. [Power Surge bowling] has been an interesting one. We look now to try to take wickets and not defend. The best way to defend is to attack."
That's all for this match. Flip over to the commentary feed for the Renegades and Sixers about to get underway in a few minutes. Take care!
Victory effectively clinched for the Heat. 16 needed off two balls now....
