10.10 pm Thumping victory by Stars with 6.1 overs to spare. The Heat are officially eliminated from playoff contention. The Stars are still alive however and have given their net run rate a significant boost. Stars are still two points behind both the Strikers and Hurricanes but can possibly jump past them if they can win their last match.

That's it for today's coverage. I'm Peter Della Penna. Come back tomorrow for a BBL doubleheader. For now, take care!
