All-round show by Sixers, as Kerr and company deliver with the ball after Hughes set it up with the bat. But don't go anywhere as we round off the business end of the BBL this season, with Sydney Thunder playing Melbourne Renegades in another part of the country. Until then, it is goodbye from Gnasher, Ranjith and me, Himanshu!
Daniel Hughes is the Player of the Match: "It is steaming hot there. I think we left ten runs out there. It's our captain Moises - he is really nice and calm. He has played amazingly for the Sixers. It is just another game of cricket, isn't it? Things will go your way if you are calm."
3.28pm More points for Sixers, as Heat go down again. They never really got off to a start in the run chase, and in the end, 179 proved too much. There was some fight from Bryant and Peirson after a slow start, but Sixers hit back through quiet overs from Abbott and O'Keefe right when needed.

Kerr to Bazley, 1 run, low full-toss on middle, and dragged to long-on. Sixers win by 27 runs

Kerr to Bazley, 2 runs, this time is he run-out at the bowler's end? Wait... The umpire still goes upstairs despite the batter not being in picture, perhaps because Kerr told him that he wasn't sure if the stumps were indeed dislodged by the ball in his hands. And yes, replays show the bails came off by his left elbow first before he took them off with the ball in hand. Bazley swung that back of a length ball to midwicket, and they ran for almost a run that was never there. Safe in the end though

Kerr to Swepson, 1 run, run-out chance gone! The throw came at the bowler's end from extra cover, but wide of stumps. Very full ball on middle and off, and dragged

Kerr to Steketee, OUT, appeal again for leg before, and given this time! A real toe-crushing yorker on leg which is almost dipping on the batter, who has almost opened himself up. The ball eventually strikes his left toe in front on of middle and leg, and bang! Kerr has his third

Kerr to Bazley, 1 leg bye, huge appeal for leg before, but not given. And Kerr is almost fuming. That was on a back of a length on middle and off, and almost hitting middle on replays. They trickle a leg-bye

Kerr to Bazley, FOUR, bottom edge, and four! Pretty full ball wide of off, and Bazley is across off early to try and swing that to the leg side. But the ball runs off the bottom edge between keeper and short fine leg
Over the wicket.
Kerr will bowl the final over. The small matter of six sixes required...
