THAT'S A WRAP! It was a one-sided encounter, and we're glad you joined us for the live coverage. I'm Meeth Agrawal, and I've had the pleasure of being alongside my co-commentator, Arya Sekhar Chakraborty. Until next time, goodbye, and thank you for tuning in!
Jess Jonassen: Yeah we knew the wicket would be a tad tacky, on the slower side. Yeah just looked to take the pace off and Lucy did the same. Just pretty happy that the lefties are the ones to get the wickets. She is working hard behind the scenes. She goes there and trust on . She has been huge for us. It was more so about the power what Laura has to not use that. Yeah ultimately getting the job on. Very happy for Grace as well for a clinical job. Big job on Sunday. The Sixers will be coming at us.
The Brisbane Heat have secured a commanding 9-wicket victory over the Melbourne Stars Women to mark their second consecutive win over their opponents. This win was built on an all-round performance by the Heat in the rain-curtailed 7-over encounter.
The Melbourne Stars got off to a promising start thanks to Rhys McKenna's explosive batting. However, the Heat's bowling attack, led by Lucy Hamilton and captain Jess Jonassen, proved too potent. Both Hamilton and Jonassen claimed double-wicket overs, which swung the momentum in favor of the Heat.
The Stars' batting lineup was unable to recover from the setbacks inflicted by Hamilton and Jonassen, ultimately setting a modest target of 47 runs for the Heat to chase in 7 overs.
The Heat's response was emphatic, with Grace Harris setting the tone with three consecutive boundaries in the first over. This explosive start left the Stars reeling, and the Heat never looked back. They comfortably chased down the target with nine wickets remaining to seal two crucial points.
This win means that the Brisbane Heat hold onto their third spot in the table, with a crucial last group stage match still remaining. In contrast, the Melbourne Stars are languishing at the bottom of the table and will be seeking to end their disappointing season on a high note in their final league game.
5.2 Sophie Day to Grace Harris, Brisbane Heat win by 9 wickets and gets two crucial points. Grace Harris moves across and scoops this good-length delivery around middle, towards the fine leg region and comes back for a brace. .
