18:38 IST || This brings to an end to our live coverage of this clash. I am Samanvaya Sharma signing off on behalf of my co-commentator Arya, as we take your leave now. Goodbye!!!
Alana King is the Player of the Match, here is what she had to say: Heart rate is high but for us to defend 108 was exceptional. You have to believe or else you will lose mentally. We knew couple of wickets will get us back. I am so so proud of this group. To be honest, I am just happy to get her wicket, it cost us a few runs. This should not be going to be as it was a team effort. We spoke about that at the start of the tournament. Every game towards the back end will become very important. These wins at home will hugely benefit us.

Perth Scorchers Women have clinched a miracle of a victory in this nail-biting contest. What a superb thrilling contest this has been.
It all began with team Melbourne Renegades winning the toss and inviting the hosts to bat first. Perth Scorchers were unable to give a blistering start to their innings and ended up scoring a total of just 108 runs. Mikayla Hinkley emerged as the only star batter for them tonight. But no one has even expected in their wildest of dreams that the Scorchers would snatch a victory like this on such a below-par total. Well, that's the beauty of this game. Ainsworth lights up the hopes for the Scorchers in the very first over of the chase when she traps Webb with her outswinger. Alana King comes later on and shakes the Renegades middle order by taking 3 wickets. Sophie Devine too impresses a bit with her bowling skills and got 2 wickets. They never gave a breathing space to the Renegades to score some easy runs.
Melbourne Renegades will be disappointed with the way they bat tonight Their application with the bat looked a bit clueless in this game. A leg injury to de Broughe also created some troubles with their middle order. Dottin stands in for a long time and tries to pull things off but is unable to do so. Alice Capsey grabbed a fifer for them, but it all went into vain.
In the end, Perth Scorchers Women conquered an edge-of-the-seat thriller contest and won this reverse fixture.
