Michael Neser | Player of the Match - Amazing! That was a tough game in the end, they are a class team. It was quite tricky to get the pace of the wicket, fortune favours the brave. Everyone’s contributed throughout the tournament and thankfully it was me this time. I thought that was the opportunity to take the game with the surge, took a punt and it worked out. We are peaking at the right time in the tournament. Anything can happen in the final. (On Perth Scorchers) They are a class team and are well-drilled, it is going to be tough no doubt but we are playing well.

22:19 Local Time, 11:19 GMT, 16:49 IST: This is some performance from the Brisbane Heat. They were languishing in the bottom half for most part of the tournament, finished fifth, had to win three games to get through to the finals, and they have done it. The bowlers set this win up by restricting the powerful Sixers line-up to a meagre 116 on a two-paced SCG pitch. But then their batters nearly threatened to mess up the simple chase, they went from 31 for 0 to 56 for 5 within no time. But the experience of Michael Neser then stood up - he added 30 for the 6th wicket with Max Bryant, but it was the 16th over which was the eventual game breaker. Four consecutive boundaries off Hayden Kerr brought them within striking distance and he then ensured that he stayed till the end to confirm their final spot. They'll be up against red-hot Perth Scorchers at the Furnace on Saturday. Once again, they'll start as massive underdogs, but this is a team that has won 7 out of their last 8 games. Peaking at the right time? Join us for the title clash at Perth on Saturday. For now, cheers and bye..

Dwarshuis to Neser, FOUR, Brisbane Heat are through to the #BBL12 final - only fitting that Neser did the finishing duties, length ball and he bludgeoned the drive over mid-on for a boundary
