Right then. That's it from the coverage of this game. The Big Bash League action will continue on 17th with two games coming your way. The first one sees a brushing of shoulders between Adelaide Strikers and Sydney Sixers at 1135 IST (0605 GMT). Followed by the clash between Brisbane Heat and Perth Scorchers which will begin at 1445 IST (0915 GMT). But as you all know you can join us early for the build-up. Cheers!
Glenn Maxwell wins the Man of the Match award for his all-round performance. He says it was a good start and hope the rest of the fixtures go in their favour. Mentions, the way Stoinis and Cartwright ended the games shows the powerhouse they possess in the middle. Adds, they just tried to match up to the ground and to get a couple of wickets fells really good.
Earlier in the day, after electing to bat, Heat got off to a very good start but the Stars' spinners fought back, squeezed the runs and also got wickets at the right time. Courtesy Ben Duckett, Heat got close to 150. That though was chased off without breaking a sweat.
Brisbane Heat needed wickets at the start but their bowlers were taken to the cleaners. All of them were hit to all parts of the ground. Mark Steketee and James Bazley did get a wicket but that was a little too late. To be honest, they just did not have enough runs on the board.
That is a thumping win for the Stars. They have made a mockery of this run chase. Their openers came out all guns blazing and added 100 in no time. Clarke notched up yet another 50. Both fell in quick succession but Cartwright and Stoinis ensured there were no more wickets to fall and got over the line. Not only they get maximum points from this game but this win will also boost their net run rate.

Mitchell Swepson To Marcus Stoinis
SIX! Just evades the fielder. Is it a bird? It is a plane? No, it is Michael Neser. He has been exceptional in the field throughout the innings. If he would've gathered it, it would've been out of this world. A short ball, on off. Marcus Stoinis pulls it powerfully over wide of long on for a biggie. Michael Neser runs to his right and puts in a dive to that side but could only get his fingertips on it.

James Bazley To Joe Clarke OUT!
OUT! TAKEN! Clarke now walks back but not after doing his job. Another top class kncok by him! He looks to continue the hitting. Comes down the track but James Bazley shortens the length and bowls a slower one. He ends up hitting it high up in the air towards mid on. A good catch taken there.

Mark Steketee To Glenn Maxwell OUT!
OUT! TAKEN! Straight to the man! Maxwell can't believe he has hit that straight to the fielder! That was a poor ball. It was on the pads, Maxwell whips it but straight to short fine leg where Lynn takes an easy catch. Something to be happy about for the Heat.

FOUR! That is a brave shot! There are two men at the back on the leg side, the boundary is a very long one. This is on the pads, Clarke flicks it uppishly but away from the deep square leg fielder for a boundary.
