FOUR! Harry Conway to Matthew Renshaw. Short, outside off stump on the front foot pulling, top edge in the air uncontrolled past fine leg for 4 runs.
Comprehensive victory for the Heat and they did what they had to do chasing a small total. The start wasn't ideal with two wickets falling in the first couple of overs but AB de Villiers settled things down in his first BBL game while Matthew Renshaw got himself a handy half-century. Not the Strikers day then but they will have the chance for revenge on Friday as these two sides go head to head once again.
