16:05 Local Time, 06:05 GMT, 11:35 IST: So near and so far once again for the Stars, they'll look back at slowing down against spin as a pivotal moment in the game - Stoinis and Cartwright tried their best, but they were asked to do too much. Khawaja hugs his bowler, so does does the rest of the mates, 4 wins on the bounce for Brisbane and they've stormed closer to the playoffs.Thomas Rogers gave a flying start, but Clarke and Kellaway slowed down in the middle, asking their power-hitters to probably do a lot more. There was plenty of drama though during those last couple of frenetic overs - both Stoinis and Cartwright getting reprieved through no-balls, but Johnson held his nerve when it mattered the most. As for the Stars, they'll dwell upon yet another match which slipped away from their grasp. So, 5 teams in the hunt for playoff spots and the BBL will only get more and more interesting. Another must-win game coming up shortly with the Renegades looking to save their season. Join us in a couple of hours for the match at the Furnace. For now, cheers and bye..

19.6Spencer Johnson to Stoinis, 1 run, Stoinis can't, Heat celebrate and they're all but through to the playoffs. Johnson has held his nerve once again in the last over and has defended 14 for his team - a low full-toss and it's driven down to long-on for a single
</p>
<p>
6 needed off the last ball - can Stoinis do it?
</p>
<p>

</p>
<p>
19.4 Spencer Johnson to Cartwright, 2 runs, low full-toss outside off, Cartwright carves it back over the non-striker's head, but long-off gets across to cut off the boundary - two more though and they need 7 from 2 balls
</p>
<p>
9 needed from 3 balls - Johnson is taking his time now
</p>
<p>

</p>
<p>
19.2 Spencer Johnson to Stoinis, no run, excellent comeback from Johnson, full and pushed across the right-hander, beats Stoinis's waft with the angle. 10 needed off 4 now

</p>
<p>
19.1 Spencer Johnson to Stoinis, FOUR, lovely, quick hands from Stoinis - shuffled across, got inside the line and helped it on its way over short fine for a boundary
</p>
<p>
14 needed off the last over. Stars in front considering Stoinis will be on strike? Who'll bowl? Khawaja trusts Spencer Johnson to do the job for him
</p>
<p>
MLS: 175-3 after 19 overs
</p>
<p>
18.6 Neser to Cartwright, 2 runs, short of a length and at the stumps, pulled away behind square on the on-side and Cartwright comes back for the second - 21 off the over
</p>
<p>
18.5 Neser to Cartwright, FOUR, low full-toss and Cartwright has clouted it over mid-wicket, the fielder gets across on the slide, but he was already on the ropes as he did so, the ball also clipped the padding
</p>
<p>
18.5 Neser to Cartwright, wide, banged in short, but it sailed over Cartwright's head, called as a wide for height
</p>
<p>
can Cartwright get a boundary or two away?
</p>
<p>
18.4 Neser to Stoinis, 1 run, slower short ball from Neser - Stoinis backs away and swats it to deep mid-wicket, on the bounce to the keeper
</p>
<p>
18.3Neser to Stoinis, SIX, hammered, sheer power from Stoinis - gets under the length and launches it high and over long-off, brought his strong bottom-hand into play
</p>
<p>
18.2 Neser to Stoinis, no run, the free-hit doesn't cost anything for Heat, low full-toss and Stoinis drove it straight to the fielder at mid-off
</p>
<p>
Khawaja has a chat with his bowler
</p>
<p>
18.2 Neser to Stoinis, no ball, that could be the game for Heat. But is this another no-ball, looked quite high once again and the 3rd umpire will have a look. It's high, but is it above the waist? A big call here for the third umpire - will the bowler get the benefit of doubt? Given as a no-ball and Stoinis will get a free-hit - was a high full-toss and Stoinis paddled it straight into the hands of short third man, he wasn't going anywhere and he's right
