Commentary

So that concludes our coverage of this contest but the action rolls on the WBBL. The Sydney Smash is coming up shortly with the Sixers and the Thunder locking horns at this very venue so do switch tabs to follow our coverage of the same right here on Sportskeeda. Until next time, this is Sooryanarayanan Sesha taking your leave and thanking you for joining us today. Buh-bye and see you around!

Match summary: Melbourne Stars beat Adelaide Strikers by 22 runs.

Tess Flintoff 51* (16) | Sasha Moloney 4/24 (4)
Katie Mack 47 (38) | Deandra Dottin 2/34 (4)

A clinical show by the Melbourne Stars in a crucial contest. They've had a couple of their games rained out in recent times but this will please them to no end. They've put on a stellar all-round display to bring the Adelaide Strikers' four-match winning streak to a screeching halt.

It was all set up by a blitz of the highest order from Tess Flintoff, who smashed the record for the fastest WBBL fifty, getting there in 16 deliveries alone. A total of 187 was always going to be a challenge and upon losing Deandra Dottin early, the ordeal only got tougher for the Strikers. Laura Wolvaardt found the fence and cashed in on an array of long hops from Alice Capsey and it seemed like today was the day she would put her modest season thus far behind her.

Katie Mack found her mojo too and the Strikers were up to the task. But the Stars' fielding today was out of the world. Sasha Moloney plucked a stunner at short mid-wicket to send Wolvaardt packing and once Tahlia McGrath was yorked by Sophie Day, it seemed as though it was getting out of hand.

Bridget Patterson launched a sensational counter-attack in the Power Surge though to keep them afloat after Mack was dismissed right at the start of that two-over phase. The seamers though, did well to mix it up in terms of their pace and lengths to tie down the batters. Madeline Penna also went hard at the bowlers, but the asking rate got out of bounds after a point. Annabel Sutherland joined Maloney in pulling off a spectacular catch, having started with one to send Dottin on her way back and if anything, it summed up a day where nothing could go wrong for the Stars.

So Nicole Faltum and Co. have wrapped up a convincing victory, moving up to sixth position in the points table. Things are starting to come together and the signs are promising ahead of the second half of the tournament. As for the Strikers, they will view this as a minor blip and move forward, as they remain in third spot behind the Sixers and the Scorchers.

A superlative performance by the Melbourne Stars and the Strikers' four-match winning streak has been brought to a halt. What a comprehensive display across departments by Nicole Faltum and Co. and they get their second win on theb oard!

19.6 Sasha Moloney to Jemma Barsby, OUT! ENDS WITH A WICKET! Back of a length delivery outside off stump, Barsby sits on one knee and slices it powerfully looking to clear the fielder at cover. Catching practice for Winfield-Hill and she flings the ball into the air in delight as the Stars wrap up a 22-run win!
Jemma Barsby c Lauren Winfield-Hill b Sasha Moloney 0 (1b 0x4 0x6)

Jemma Barsby, LHB, comes to the crease.

A superb take by Flintoff and she simply can't put a foot wrong today can she?

19.5 Sasha Moloney to Madeline Penna, OUT! PENNA BITES THE DUST! And it's Tess Flintoff, the star of the day, who pulls off an excellent catch! A touch short on off stump and Penna rocks back into a pull. Heaves it towards deep mid-wicket where Flintoff charges in and completes a top catch with a dive forward.
Madeline Penna c Tess Flintoff b Sasha Moloney 22 (16b 0x4 2x6)

19.4 Sasha Moloney to Tegan McPharlin, steps out and drags this full one on off stump across the line to long on for a single

19.3 Sasha Moloney to Tegan McPharlin, FOUR! Attempts a yorker at the stumps but McPharlin gets inside the line of it and helps it fine past short 45 en route to the fence

19.2 Sasha Moloney to Madeline Penna, very full at the stumps, Penna can only shovel it through mid-wicket for a single into the deep

19.1 Sasha Moloney to Madeline Penna, SIX! THERE'S ONE! In the slot on off stump and Penna sits low to launch it handsomely over long on. Travels high and long over the fence!

Sasha Moloney [3.0-0-12-2] is back into the attack to bowl the final over of the game.

Top class exhibition of death bowling by Sutherland. Yet again, she uses her assortment of slower ones to great effect. A cluster of sixes needed now - Adelaide Strikers require 35 runs off the last over!

Tegan McPharlin, RHB, comes to the crease

18.5 Annabel Sutherland to Amanda-Jade Wellington, BOWLS HER! A cracking yorker right at the base of off stump and AJW looks to get innovative with a shuffle across her stumps. Attempts a flick around the corner but is beaten neck and crop as she hears the death rattle behind her.
