After the Heat won the toss and elected to bowl first in Melbourne, paceman Xavier Bartlett struck in his first over of the evening, with New Zealand international Martin Guptill chipping a catch towards extra cover, departing cheaply for 1 (2). Marsh was gifted an early reprieve on 14, with James Bazley putting down a relatively simple chance at short fine leg in the fourth over.

The Heat run chase got off to a flyer, with skipper Khawaja and opening partner Josh Brown combining for an explosive 75-run partnership. David Moody got the much-needed breakthrough for the Renegades in the ninth over, with Brown (39 from 27 balls) heaving a length delivery towards the deep mid-wicket boundary rider.
Khawaja continued on his merry way at the other end, with the Renegades missing a crucial run out chance in the 12th over. The Heat skipper brought up his fifty in 37 deliveries with a slog sweep over mid-wicket, his second half-century of the finals series. Renshaw slapped an unbeaten 27 off 13 balls at the death, ensuring the Heat chased the target in the penultimate over.
Add six more to that 20-over total!
