In a thrilling Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL) final, the Perth Scorchers defeated the Brisbane Heat. They aced their impressively high target, scoring 99 runs for the loss of just three wickets. Redmayne and Ginger gave breakout performances. Their dominant hitting carried the Mariners to a playoff berth.
Redmayne was at the heart of the Scorchers’ batting performance, making 38 from 30 deliveries. The aggressive batting style was evident in her performance as she hit five boundaries and three sixes during her innings. Having achieved a run-a-ball strike rate of 126.67, she was crucial in helping the team gain an early advantage.
Ginger had quite a day too, filling his boots with 24 runs off 16 balls. She displayed her power hitting to the fullest by belting three fours and three sixes. With an astonishing strike rate of 150.00, she single-handedly changed the course of that game. A mix of Redmayne’s attacking intent and Ginger’s calm precision took the Scorchers to a challenging total.
Redmayne and Ginger found plenty of runs but Knott struggled in her brief stay at the crease. She retired the four balls she faced without allowing any runs to score. Bourke struggled, scoring just five runs with a strike-rate of 83.33. These performances placed further pressure on the middle order but were not enough to blot the team’s aggregate performance.
