Captain Henriques scored 58 off 43 and Jordan Silk notched up 47 to help the Sixers score 151 while batting first but the Scorchers eased to the target despite Sean Abbott’s three-wicket haul.


The Heat finished the group stages in the fifth position with just six wins from 14 games but they beat Sydney Thunder in the Eliminator clash and Melbourne Renegades in the knockout games. Captain Usman Khawaja top-scored 59 off 47 and Matt Renshaw smashed 27 not out off 13 to chase the 163-run target with seven wickets and seven balls remaining against the Renegades in the last game. The Heat beat the Sixers in the first game this season while the second match was washed away due to rain.


However, the Heat will miss the services of Marnus Labuschagne and skipper Khawaja who have flown down to India for the Border Gavaskar Trophy while Sixers will miss the prolific Steve Smith for the same reason.
