The Heat, captained by Jimmy Peirson, are currently languishing at the bottom of the points table with four points and a net run rate of -0.804. However, with the middle of the table looking congested, the Heat have every chance of even breaking into the top four if they secure a few wins.
The Sixers, captained by Moises Henriques, on the other hand, are placed third in the table with eight points from seven matches. But they need to up their net run rate, which is currently at -0.281. After winning four matches in a row, the Sixers lost to the Heat in their previous game by 15 runs.
After being asked to chase down 225, the Sixers were in the game for quite some time. But a stupendous catch from Michael Neser on the boundary to dismiss Jordan Silk made sure the Sixers finished with 209. Silk was batting on 41 runs when he got out.
Earlier, James Vince and Joshua Philippe got their team off to a flying start with a 56-run partnership for the opening wicket. Apart from taking a brilliant catch, Neser also accounted for three crucial wickets of Philippe, Daniel Christian and Ben Dwarshuis.
