That's it from this exciting WBBL game, The Strikers complete their win over the Stars with a dominant bowling performance. Stay tuned at Sportskeeda as there is another WBBL game about to start and World cup action later in the day. Until next time, this is the duo of Bidipto and Divyansh signing off.
The Strikers win it comfortably in the end after stumbling for a bit, Penna with a brilliant 56 run innings stayed on till the end to make sure they crossed the line. Patterson helped her along the way as they both rescued their team after being 3 down for 18.
Garth, Moloney and Sutherland started off well getting a wicket each in the powerplay, but they could not continue taking the wickets after that. They lost with just 5 balls to spare as a few extra runs and they might have won it. Sutherland took 2 wickets in the end but could not get any more.
19.1 Sasha Moloney to Amanda-Jade Wellington, ADELAIDE STRIKERS WOMEN GET THE JOB DONE! Over the wicket, full toss outside off, Wellington steps out and slams it over mid-on, and picks up the run needed to win, as mid-on does run back and retrieve it before the ball hits the boundary rope!
We go to the last over but just 1 run needed from it, a certain victory for Stars. Or do we have a miracle here and get a super over?
