16:05 Local Time, 06:05 GMT, 11:35 IST: So near and so far once again for the Stars, they'll look back at slowing down against spin as a pivotal moment in the game - Stoinis and Cartwright tried their best, but they were asked to do too much. Khawaja hugs his bowler, so does does the rest of the mates, 4 wins on the bounce for Brisbane and they've stormed closer to the playoffs.Thomas Rogers gave a flying start, but Clarke and Kellaway slowed down in the middle, asking their power-hitters to probably do a lot more. There was plenty of drama though during those last couple of frenetic overs - both Stoinis and Cartwright getting reprieved through no-balls, but Johnson held his nerve when it mattered the most. As for the Stars, they'll dwell upon yet another match which slipped away from their grasp. So, 5 teams in the hunt for playoff spots and the BBL will only get more and more interesting. Another must-win game coming up shortly with the Renegades looking to save their season. Join us in a couple of hours for the match at the Furnace. For now, cheers and bye..
