Needing 167 runs to win, Sydney Sixers couldn’t get off to a good start. Skipper Moises Henriques was the lead scorer with 25, while Josh Philippe scored 23. Jordan Silk who has demonstrated good form during the tournament was out for a duck. The hosts kept losing wickets at regular intervals and that cost them the chance to win the final.  

Player of the Match – Spencer Johnson 

Young left-arm-pacer Spencer Johnson was given the man of the match for his 4/26 with the ball. Johnson began the day by dismissing the dangerous-looking Jack Edwards for 16. Josh Philippe then became Johnson’s second wicket of the day to put the Heat in complete command of the game. Hayden Kerr and Ben Dwarshuis were the next two wickets for the pacer as Brisbane claimed their second Big Bash League title.
