Commentary

So, that will be it from the Adelaide Oval for tonight. But, do join is tomorrow for another double-header in the WBBL! We have one more spot left for the final four and two teams are in contention for that. Which one will it be then - Sydney Thunder Women or Hobart Hurricanes Women? We'll find out in the next two days. For now, this is the pair of Pradeep and Bidipto saying good bye. Keep following Sportskeeda!

Darcie Brown is the Player of the Match! Here's what she has to say: You have games where you get wickets, there'll be one's that you don't, lucky to have picked up a few. All the bowlers are putting in the efforts, building the pressure and happy to have picked up a few. I think we've always had that belief within us, as long as I've been part of this crew, it's really special to be part and we're just enjoying time in the middle. I just tried to land and not to get whacked it, that catch thank goodness it came back to me and it kept following him, I made sure I held on to it, but it was terrible to drop Soph, but very lucky. So important, the crew that came out today, helped us so much and they've been incredible, helped us get much energy from them. Hopefully these kids come out next week and heaps of people to celebrate what a great season this has been.

Adelaide Strikers Women win by 5 wickets with 31 balls to spare!

Madeline Penna 31* (23) | Katie Mack 24 (27)
Sophie Devine - 3/20 (2) | Natalie Sciver - 1/18 (3)

Adelaide Strikers Women confirm top spot and ensure that the final of this season will be held here, at the Adelaide Oval! But things did not get all that easy for them with the bat.

The Perth Scorchers Women were able to keep chipping away with wickets and there was just enough on offer for the bowlers both in the air and off the pitch.

But, the best thing about the batting effort was the press for runs all the time. The batters were out in the middle with only one thing in mind - go for the runs!

No matter what, it was about getting the job done as early as possible so as not to leave anything late. And of course, Madeline Penna's unbeaten 31 off 23 balls ensured that they got home without losing more than 5 wickets.

As for Sophie Devine's Scorchers Women, back-to-back losses at this stage of the tournament does not auger too well. They need to improve their batting leading into the finals.

14.5 Alana King to Madeline Penna, FOUR! GAME, SET AND MATCH! The defending champions have secured a home-final, what a commanding performance this from the hosts. Tossed up a length delivery on the stumps, Penna lunges and slams it straight down the ground and seals the game with a boundary.

14.4 Alana King to Madeline Penna, drops it short on the fourth stump, Penna goes back and pushes it to cover fielder for no run.

The 100 comes up for Adelaide Strikers Women!

14.3 Alana King to Madeline Penna, FOUR! Penna is in a real hurry to finish things off here. Steps down the track for the length delivery, Penna smacked it well over the top of mid-off, runs away for another boundary.

14.2 Alana King to Madeline Penna, length delivery on the off-stump, Penna driven it straight to mid-off for no run.

A slip is in place.

14.1 Alana King to Amanda-Jade Wellington, DROPPED! Another one goes down, that was a sharp chance though but still goes down. Short on the fourth stump, Wellington goes back to cut, but takes the outside edge. Devine at first slip goes low to her left but falls safely.

Alana King [2.0-0-9-1] comes back into the attack.

The drop catch was like rubbing salt into the wounds! Not that it would have mattered a whole lot, but another wicket was always welcome for the Scorchers Women, wasn't it? That too of Penna!

13.6 Chloe Ainsworth to Madeline Penna, DROPPED! King drops a sitter at fine-leg. Short again, Penna looks to take on with a pull shot but has skied it. King runs in from the deep and dives to shell that one.

That shot kind of seals the deal!

13.5 Chloe Ainsworth to Madeline Penna, SIX! BANG! Stupendous hit from Penna. Short into the batter, Penna swivels and clobbered it way over deep backward square-leg for a maximum. Is that the game for the Strikers?

13.4 Chloe Ainsworth to Madeline Penna, too full outside the off-stump, Penna looks to hoick but mistimes it to short mid-wicket fielder for no run.

13.3 Chloe Ainsworth to Amanda-Jade Wellington, back of a length outside the off-stump, Wellington waits and dabs it down to third-man for an easy single.

13.2 Chloe Ainsworth to Madeline Penna, short delivery into the batter, Penna pulled that one over square-leg and picks up an easy single.

13.1 Chloe Ainsworth to Madeline Penna, OH! Back of a length delivery, jags back in sharply into the batter. Penna on her toes, turned it into the on-side for no run.

Chloe Ainsworth [2.0-0-14-0] comes back into the attack.

The Scorchers Women need to bring a couple more fielders up inside the circle now. No point letting the batters take easy singles at this stage.
