9.45pm Quite a disappointing day for the Brisbane Heat and the neutrals. The Heat managed just 73, their lowest BBL total, and third lowest overall. And the Sixers knocked it off clinically, in 10 overs, for just the loss of Daniel Hughes. It's very tough for the Brisbane Heat to make the playoffs now, with just one game left against the Melbourne Renegades. The Sixers will take plenty of confidence from this game, maybe the highlight of a frustrating season.

9.6
1
Yasir Shah to Maddinson, 1 run

that's the game. Just half of the maximum overs required for the Sixers to knock off the Heat's paltry target. Maddinson backs away and chips the ball over mid-off for a boundary, but they'll trot through before that

The field comes in, midwicket goes back

9.5
1
Yasir Shah to Denly, 1 run

93 kph, quick on middle and lag, jammed away to long-on. The scores are now level

9.4
Yasir Shah to Denly, no run

a wide yorker outside off, plenty of flight, bunted back

9.3
Yasir Shah to Denly, no run

88 kph, flight outside off, driven to one of two short covers

9.2
6
Yasir Shah to Denly, SIX runs

great hit, shuffles across, Yasir sees that and fires it in, flat, quick and short. Denly just picks it away, way over square leg. The timing has been rather good this evening from the Sixers batsmen

pushed to midwicket, the line on this one is much straighter

Floros to Denly, no run

and again, pushed through, hit to cover

8.4
Floros to Denly, no run

shortish and wide, slapped to cover from the crease

Floros to Maddinson, 1 run

wow, goes so high in the air that all 11 Heat players could have got underneath in time. McCullum at cover and the bowler are the contenders, but there is some miscommunication. Eventually, neither of them get a hand on it. McCullum watches on as Floros is sprawling 5 feet in front of him, misjudged that did Floros. A thick leading edge as Maddinson slog-swept that, went very high

8.2
6
Floros to Maddinson, SIX runs

big hit. Floros offers a bit of flight, Maddinson accepts, shimmies down and heaves the ball way over long-on. Sensational timing again

8.1
Floros to Maddinson, no run

flat on middle, a thick under-edge towards short fine leg

the slog sweep, flat down leg, swept away on the bounce to deep backward square leg

Yasir Shah to Maddinson, SIX runs

beautiful shot from Maddinson. Gets close to the pitch, and then gets underneath the length. From there, he has options, go straight, go over long-on, but he picks over mid-off, who is inside the circle. Great timing

7.4

Yasir Shah to Denly, 1 run

87 kph, plenty of flight on that, driven neatly past cover for a run

7.3
Yasir Shah to Denly, no run

shorter delivery outside off, punched away to cover from the crease

Yasir Shah to Maddinson, 1 run

comes down right away, it's on the pads, worked to deep midwicket

Yasir Shah to Hughes, OUT

Sixers' first wicket. Yasir strikes. Very full on middle and off, Hughes somehow falls over his stroke and misses a flick, struck right in front of middle and that isn't the hardest decision in the world. Some joy for the Heat

very slow through the air, nudged into the leg side. A good start from Swepson, nice control

pushed through, 87 kph, Denly misses a flick, struck on the pad. Sliding down, no appeal
