Match Summary-
Brisbane Heat win by 17 runs Marnus Labuschagne 46 (33) | James Bazley 3/30 (4.0) Matt Short 39 (30) | Harry Conway 3/36 (3.3)
A brilliant performance from the ball has got them a much needed victory, as if they had lost that would've been game over for the Heat in this season.
They have defended this total comfortably in the end, the quick bowlers finished the job but it was the spinners that won it for them. Kuhnemann and Swepson bowled well at the start and in the middle to get them on top of the game.
The momentum never shifted as they did not let any partnership build. Short, Lynn, Hose and de Gradhomme got their starts but they could not win it for the Strikers.
Kuhnemann took 2 important wickets, and Bazley took 3 timely wickets as well. As all the other bowlers took 1 each. de Grandhomme could have won it in the death but he was run out in a comical way.

19.6 Michael Neser to Harry Conway, FOUR! BUT BRISBANE HEAT GET THE WIN! MUCH NEEDED FOR THEM TOO! Short outside off nicely punched off the back foot through point, and it evades the fielder at deep point, for a boundary to end the match!
19.5 Michael Neser to Peter Siddle, full on off, Siddle makes room to carve it over point and down to the fielder in the deep for a single only.
Peter Siddle, RHB, comes to the crease.
19.4 Michael Neser to Cameron Boyce, OUT! Short and slightly slow outside off and this gets flat-batted without control off the back foot, to deep mid-wicket, three quarters of the way, for a fine CATCH!
