Sydney Sixers Women batted first and opener Suzie Bates batting played a fantastic knock.

Bates remained unbeaten on 82 whereas Perry notched up well-compiled 58.

Sophie Ecclestone was the pick of the bowlers as she picked up four wickets, giving away only 17 runs in her four overs. They restricted the Strikers Women to 134/9 to win the game by 17 runs.
Adelaide Strikers Women started the chase positively. Deandra Dottin (25), Katie Mack (34) and Laura Wolvaardt (22) looked good at the top of the order but a lack of contributions from the lower-order batters resulted in them falling short of the target.
The Strikers have gotten off to a losing start to the Women’s Big Bash League 2022 and will have to fire in unison in their next outing to register their first win of the competition.
