Commentary

Player of the Match: Sammy-Jo Johnson

Sydney Thunder Women beat Brisbane Heat Women by 9 runs

Sydney Thunder after winning the toss chose to bat first as they put up 162-5 on the board with Sammy Jo-Johnson scoring her maiden fifty for the Thunder franchise. The Brisbane Heat were set a target of 163.

The opening partnership was one of the best that we have seen alongside Beth Mooney and Sophie Devine. Redmayne and Harris know each other really well and are aware of each other's strengths. A partnership is about complementing each other and we have seen that so far. Redmayne who always sort of plays anchor to Harris’ aggressive style was at par with Grace as she maneuvered the gaps beautifully and punished bad balls that came her way. Grace Harris on other hand just kept doing what she was picked for. There seems to be that lazy elegance when you watch her bat that laments pressure on the opposition as they are wary of her panache. Harris was after a time playing with the field.

The bowlers weren’t impressive at all as they did not try anything new as Heat were going at 9 an over till 11th over with the score of 99/0 after 11 overs. The bowlers need to learn to bowl according to the fields they have set. But it was the opening that was provided by Sam Bates that turned out to be the turning point. Grace Harris tried to loft that inside the circle only to be caught by Smriti Mandhana and two balls later it was Kimmince who followed Harris courtesy of a good catch from the skipper Darlington. And then the momentum was just lost as Sydney Thunder continued to chip in with wickets and dot balls to add the pressure to Heat’s already existing woes.

A couple of run-outs made Heat look like a fool but it just instilled magic in the match which was missing for a major part of it. Thunder sniffed this and came back so strong that there was no looking back after that. Deepti Sharma took a screamer at point to get rid of the main wicket, Georgia Redmayne.

There was a downturn that followed as each Brisbane Heat batter came out only to depart soon. A large chunk of credit also has to go to Hannah Darlington for her exceptional and shrewd bowling changes and spot on-field changes.

It was when Georgia Redmayne departed that situation worsened and a chase which was hunky-dory till the 12th over felt like a mountain too far. Jess Jonassen and Mikayla Hinkley fell off consecutive balls by Hannah Darlington and then there was no rising up for the Heat from there. Deepti Sharma then picked two more in the last over as she along with Darlington and Samantha Bates picked 2 wickets each in their respective four overs

Sydney Thunder have truly been a revelation in the last few games as they have fiercely competed in these matches while the result did not go their way in the previous encounter with the Renegades but today it was evident in their tenacity and ferociousness

Deepti Sharma has been yet another match-winner or the Sydney Thunder as she has the caliber and the match-winning ability as some of the best in the game. Ellyse Perry and Tahlia McGrath, well you have one more in your company of absolute superstars.

Brisbane Heat had an absolutely golden chance to go top of the table and they have sabotaged this opportunity to give Sydney Thunder the match.

So that is it from this side as we come to the end of a Fantastic Friday here at the Women's Big Bash League. We believe you enjoyed this coverage between Sydney Thunder and Brisbane Heat. And for much more such heart throbbing encounters, stay tuned to Sportskeeda as we strive for the best day in and day out.

So up until next time, allow me (Anavit Naik) along with my co-commentator Sooryanarayanan Sesha to take your leave. You do take very good care of yourselves!

2 /21

19.6 Deepti Sharma to Poonam Yadav, THAT IS THAT! TAKE A BOW, DEEPTI SHARMA AND THE THUNDER! Flighted into a length just outside off, Poonam makes room and drags it over mid-wicket with an uppish flick to cross over for a single. We have witnessed something spectacular today at Harrup Park - Sydney Thunder have pulled victory from the jaws of defeat by 9 runs!

19.5 Deepti Sharma to Courtney Sippel, THAT SHOULD BE IT! Flighted into a length on off, Sippel steps out and can only smear it on the up and past the bowler for a single towards long on.

19.4 Deepti Sharma to Poonam Yadav, reverse sweep! Off a full length on the leg-stump and towards the fielder at point as Poonam manages to get off strike. What can Sippel do now?

The pendulum swung in a 360 degree motion!

Poonam Yadav, right-hand bat walks out to the crease as the last batter at no.11

19.3 Deepti Sharma to Nadine de Klerk, OUT! KNOCKS HER OVER! THE WICKET CARNAGE CONTINUES! With the arm and on a good length on the off-stump, de Klerk backs away for a punch through the off-side but the ball isn't short enough for the cut and the ball zips through quickly to rattle the stumps. 9 down now!

19.2 Deepti Sharma to Nadine de Klerk, flighted into a length this time at the stumps, de Klerk comes forward for a slog over mid-wicket and into the deep. The throw is at the bowler's end before Deepti fires down the stumps at the keeper's end. de Klerk is home and dry though.

Courtney Sippel comes to bat no. 10

19.1 Deepti Sharma to Nicola Hancock, OUT TAKEN IN THE DEEP! This game refuses to budge alright! Flighted into the arc at the stumps, Hancock makes room and swings over the wide mid-on region. Long on sprints across to her right and pouches an excellent catch to signal the end for Hancock. Hold onto your seatbelts folks!

Deepti Sharma comes back into the attack

Who will bowl the last over?

The exuberance of this game is insane, to say the least. The heart is beating at twice the rate and you just cannot put words to this experience as we can just encapsulate our feelings as much as possible. We have seen tables turning but not in this fashion

18.6 Hannah Darlington to Nadine de Klerk, OFF THE EDGE! Good length delivery just outside off, de Klerk looks to slog across the line as the ball takes the edge and just lobs over the keeper before short third man catches up with the chase. Two runs taken!
