10.10 pm Thumping victory by Stars with 6.1 overs to spare. The Heat are officially eliminated from playoff contention. The Stars are still alive however and have given their net run rate a significant boost. Stars are still two points behind both the Strikers and Hurricanes but can possibly jump past them if they can win their last match.
That's it for today's coverage. I'm Peter Della Penna. Come back tomorrow for a BBL doubleheader. For now, take care!

Bazley to Stoinis, SIX, Stoinis ends it with a six over long-on! Short on off, flat-bat tennis racquet backhand smash straight down the ground and clears the rope with ease.

Bazley to Stoinis, 2 runs, short outside off, slaps this just wide of another leaping effort at mid-on this time by Steketee charging to his right. Missed by fingertips and falls safely for two cleaned up by midwicket.
