Thanks a lot for joining us- Pragadeesh and Mohul Bhowmick- for this exciting game in the WBBL. The Scorchers imposed themselves nicely upon the Heat and picked up the points on offer. See you soon!
Let us hear from the Perth Scorchers Women's skipper Sophie Devine, who is also the Player of the Match: Batting with Beth Mooney feels so nice. She makes things look so easy and guides you through everything. She is a very intelligent batter and helped me a lot today. It was an innings of two halves today. We were struggling a bit in the beginning but we knew that if we stuck around, we could score freely in the second half. There are always runs to be had on this ground. We had a nice barbecue at Mooney's house last night, and it helped us all switch off a bit and rejuvenate. We are on the road all the time, and it helps to get away from the game for some time.
Perth Scorchers Women beat Brisbane Heat Women by 39 runs!
The Scorchers showcased today why they are among the top-rated sides in this tournament. Skipper Sophie Devine led the way with both bat and ball and ensured that her all-round performance won the game for her side.
She scored a century with the bat in hand earlier in the day and they came back to pick up two wickets with the ball. Medium pacer Piepa Cleary did extremely well, picking up three wickets and breaking the backbone of the Heat batting order.
The Heat will be extremely disappointed with this showing of theirs, given that they pride themselves upon chasing. They have now lost the last two matches that they have played.
This will hurt their standing in the table, but skipper Jess Jonassen can be trusted to have a word with her lieutenants and change things around for them. The Scorchers were by far the better side on display tonight.
That will be that!
17.3 Alana King to Nicola Hancock, OUT! Perth Scorchers win by 39 runs. Pitched up on middle stump, Hancock sweeps and this goes towards deep square leg. The fielder slides forward to complete the catch
Nicola Hancock c Taneale Peschel b Alana King 0 (1b 0x4 0x6)
17.2 Alana King to Courtney Sippel, good length delivery outside leg-stump, pulled down to deep square leg for a single
Courtney Sippel, LHB, is the last batter.
17.1 Alana King to Georgia Redmayne, OUT! This should be the final nail in the coffin. Redmayne tries to be innovative as she goes for a reverse hit to the length delivery. The ball brushes the gloves and pops up for Mooney to take a simple catch
Georgia Redmayne c Beth Mooney b Alana King 53 (44b 6x4 0x6)
Nicola Hancock, RHB, is the new batter.
Alana King is back into the attack.
Cleary came back into the attack for her fourth over and picked up two crucial wickets. She has had a brilliant day on the field with the ball in hand.
