Brisbane Heat suffered their sixth loss, the third in a row, against Sydney Sixers, going down by six wickets.

Although Georgia Voll and skipper Jess Jonassen managed to take two wickets each in the bowling department, their efforts were not enough to prevent the Sixers from reaching the target.
On the other hand, Sydney Thunder suffered their fourth loss in the previous game against the Adelaide Strikers. The Thunder bowlers performed well, restricting the Strikers to 121/7, with Marizanne Kapp taking two wickets.
However, despite Tahlia Wilson's top score of 33 and Sammy-Jo Johnson's 26(14), the top and middle order couldn't provide sufficient support, falling short by just three runs.
