Hobart Hurricanes 114 for 1 (Lee 59*, Wyatt-Hodge 44, Jonassen 1-12) beat Brisbane Heat 108 for 9 (Harris 28, Carey 2-10, Strano 2-17, Graham 2-25) by 16 runs (DLS method)
Lizelle Lee kept Hobart Hurricanes rolling, and Brisbane Heat winless thanks to a power-packed knock in their rain-impacted 16-run WBBL win in Sydney on Saturday.
Lee hit an unbeaten 59 off 45 balls, striking six fours and three sixes either side of a rain delay on Saturday. Hurricanes were flying before their innings was reduced to 12 overs and they purred to 114 for 1, with Heat's target increased to 125 based on the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern system.
Jess Jonassen (1 for 12 from three overs) and Lucy Hamilton (0 for 26 off three) were the only Heat bowlers to escape punishment.
Danni Wyatt-Hodge (44 in 26 balls) combined with Lee in a 106-run opening stand, which only ended in the final over.
Grace Harris (28 in 21) hung in as Heat lost regular wickets attempting to maintain the scoring rate and finished at 108 for 9 thanks to a last-ball six from Sianna Ginger.
Molly Strano (2 for 17), Heather Graham (2 for 25) and Nicola Carey (2 for 10) proved too clever for the Heat batters.
The loss was Heat's third straight to begin the season while Hurricanes sit on top of the table with three wins.
