The Brisbane Heat have stormed in to the Big Bash final thanks to a batting masterclass from fast bowler Michael Neser that helped upset the Sydney Sixers by four wickets at the SCG.
Saturday's match will be only the Heat's second time playing in the decider, and will mark the first time the team finishing fifth has qualified for the grand final since the finals structure changed in the 2019/20 season.
Without their India-bound talisman Steve Smith, the Sixers sputtered to 9-116 on a tricky SCG wicket.
