FOUR! Sam Curran to Nathan McSweeney. Length ball, outside off stump deep in crease Slog, well timed past long off for 4 runs. Brisbane Heat have posted a competitive total on the board. After the early dismissal of the openers, Nathan McSweeney steadied the innings with a composed and well-deserved half-century, expertly anchoring the middle overs. Just as the scoring rate threatened to dip, Michael Neser took charge, launching a blistering cameo of 35 off just 14 deliveries to provide the late flourish. The Sydney Sixers' bowling attack deserves credit for maintaining pressure throughout the innings. Mitchell Starc led the charge with a superb four-wicket haul, while Sam Curran chipped in with a couple of crucial breakthroughs to restrict the Heat to a chaseable total. Join us shortly for the run chase.
