Brisbane Heat win by 20 runs and are looking good this season. That's two wins out of three in the first week of the tournament. They bowled exceptionally well tonight to defend what looked a slightly under-par total, but it wasn't an easy pitch and there was a slow outfield. The way Colin Munro kept calm early in Heat's innings proved crucial. They then struck with the new ball before Michael Neser pulled off what will remain one of the catches of the season to put Heat on top. Chris Green did his best to turn things around but there was too much to do. Mitchell Swepson also bowled superbly and is name Player of the Match. On that note, we'll wrap things up for tonight. It's Melbourne Stars vs Perth Scorchers tomorrow, but I'll be back for the Test match on Thursday. Bring it on! Until then, it's goodbye and thanks for joining us.
