While Melbourne Stars started well with Joe Clarke and Tom Rogers adding 55 runs for the opening wicket, slow middle-over batting cost Stars the match.

This was Melbourne Stars’ 10th loss of the season as they are enduring a poor campaign. Stars have only won 3 matches in 13. The win helps Brisbane Heat jump to 3rd place ahead of Melbourne Renegades and Sydney Thunder with 13 points from as many matches. Perth Scorchers lead with 20 points while Sydney Sixers are 2nd with 19 points.
These two were enormous!
