That is it from this game! Perth get back to winning ways and they have handed the Heat their first defeat of this season. There is another game going on, it is Finch's farewell game and it is also the Melbourne Derby. You can catch all the action by switching tabs. We hope you enjoyed our company. Until next time, goodbye and take care!
Nick Hobson has been awarded the MAN OF THE MATCH AWARD!
For Perth, it was the comeback man who turned it around, Andrew Tye was at his best, yes, he was well supported by Lance Morris and the two combined got 7 wickets between them. Tye not only took four but conceded just 14 in his four overs. Ashton Agar was slightly expensive but the pacers made up for it as they bowled brilliantly. All in all, Aaron Hardie will be very pleased with how his side performed.
Yet again the Perth bowlers deliver! They have done so many times especially on this stadium and yet again they have helped their side to come out on top. Heat however, got off to a really good start thanks to their openers but once Josh Brown fell, they not only kept losing wickets but found it difficult to score. The problem for them was the amount of dot balls. There were far too many and that is what got about their downfall. Also, the middle and the lower order failed to contribute. Just the three batters crossed the 10-run mark, that reflects on how poor the Heat batted after the first few overs.

FOUR! On a length and around middle, Mitchell Swepson slaps it down the ground and this one races away to the fence.
Now then, there is a five-run penalty as the umpires feel there is a deliberate attempt of a short run. The five runs will be added to Perth's total.
