PLAYER OF THE MATCH
That's it from the BBL for now. We will be back with more tomorrow. Do join us then. For now it's bye bye.
Matt Gilkes | Player of the Match: I thought the wicket was quite low and slow. It was a little bit tough at times but I thought me and Sammy ran well between the wickets - I think that was probably the difference in the end. Helped take a lot of pressure off us, made us feel we didn't have to do too much. Good win in the end. Yeah, I thought I was hitting the ball quite well in the first couple of games, but I feel like I was a little bit too carried away, and felt like today I was a bit better at sort of going through the gears, and sort of ran a lot better, took some better options, so it was a nice win for us. (on Konstas) Yeah, Sammy is unreal, I mean, everyone forgets he's only 19 or 20 years old, I think he's got some really good cricket smarts already, he's teaching me things already as well, so he's really good, gets in the contest out there, and as I've said before, we ran really well between the wickets, so I think that was the difference in the end. (what does he teach you?) I don't know really, he's good luck, he's got a real good cricket brain on him, I think we help each other out there, we ask each other how we're feeling, what match-ups we think is good for us, I thought that's something that we did really well today.
22:34 Local Time, 11:34 GMT, 17:04 IST: The Thunder defend 193 with ease. The dangermen were Renshaw and Wildermuth but the latter struggled, even facing a maiden from McAndrew in the powerplay. Renshaw looked good but Shadab took care of him. The Pakistani leggie was the star as he took a four-fer - all with googlies. His spell put so much pressure on the Heat who just couldn't cope up with the required rate. The Power Surge produced just 17 and even the powerful Max Bryant couldn't rescue the situation at the end. Stay tuned to find out who the Player of the Match is....
