Samantha Bates is the Player of the Match! Here's what she has to say: I don't know if there's any secret, nice to contribute and have worked hard off-season, reflected quite a bit on the last season and it's paying off nicely now. If you can come in, with the games to go and win most of them, we're in a good place for now. It's really exciting, nice to contribute and happy with the win.
17:09 Local Time (14:39 IST): Sydney Thunder win by 19 runs
A comfortable win in the end for Sydney Thunder who complete a hat-trick of victories and consolidate their position on the top of the table after 4 games. For the Heat, they have just the 2 wins from their 5 games and are remain stuck in the middle of the table.
171 was a stiff target for the Heat and they needed a couple of their key batters to step up for them. Grace Harris got going at the start with some big shots but she lost a couple of partners at the other end with the Heat at 48/2 at the end of the powerplay.
Knott came in and got involved in a min-partnership with Grace who got out at the wrong time for the Heat. She was dismissed by Peschel right at the halfway mark and Heat were still more than 100 run adrift.
Wickets kept falling at regular intervals then with left-arm spinner Bates coming into the act. She picked up 4 wickets including the all-important one of Knott who was playing a magnificent knock from one end having gone past her 50.
Once Knott fell, it was only a matter of time and the Heat were bowled out with 5 balls to spare completing an easy win for Thunder.
19.1 Shabnim Ismail to Grace Parsons, OUT! KNIGHT TAKES A SITTER! Ismail wraps things up and redeems herself for the dropped catch from earlier. Sydney Thunder solidify their top spot with this win, a comprehensive one. Back of a length outside the off-stump, Parsons smacked it straight to mid-off where Knight didn't have to move much.
Grace Parsons c Heather Knight b Shabnam Ismail 1(4b, 0x4, 0x6).
It could have been all over but Ismail put a sitter down and we are going into the last over. Heat need 20 off 6 and it will the speedster Shabnam Ismail [3.0-0-22-0] who will bowl it

18.6 Chamari Athapaththu to Grace Parsons, DROPPED! Ismail drops a sitter, would've been all over. Good length on the off-stump, Parsons heaved it away to deep mid-wicket. Ismail doesn't judge that one well, dipping into her and she goes low, spills it.
18.5 Chamari Athapaththu to Grace Parsons, good length on the fourth stump, Parsons waits and dabs it away, finds backward point.
18.4 Chamari Athapaththu to Grace Parsons, short and just outside the off-stump, Parsons waits and misses to cut, through to the keeper.
