crunched! Hammered down the ground and that's the win
Scorchers vs Strikers, 1st Semi-final at Brisbane, WBBL, Dec 07 2019 - Match Result
Strikers won by 8 wickets (with 11 balls remaining)
Adelaide Strikers win by eight wickets with 11 balls to spare to book their spot in tomorrow's final. That was a pretty faultless performance from the Strikers, they were far too good for the Scorchers. Sophie Devine, what more can you say? She is having a season for the ages and Ellyse Perry's 777-run total is now firmly in view with the final to come. The second semi-final will take place shortly - Brisbane Heat have won the the toss and will bowl - and Varun will be around to take you through that match. For now, from myself, goodbye and thanks for joining me.
full at the toes, can't get it away
flicked off the pads to deep square...scores are level
straight, pushed to the covers
back of a length outside off, a brilliant piece of placement as she angles this fine of short third man
One shot for Devine?
wide outside off, square driven to the covers
short and wide, slower ball, another wide
short outside off, left alone and balloons well over the keeper...not sure Redmayne got a heads up about that
straight down the ground! Super shot from Patterson as she lofts back past the bowler
Under a run-a-ball needed now. The Strikers nearly there
goes for the slog sweep and doesn't make contact
that's massive! Uses her feet and lofts this well back over long-on
pushed back to the bowler
driven very firmly along the ground to mid-off
short outside off, very nicely threaded through the covers as she drives off the back foot. That hurts after the life
missed stumping as Patterson comes down the pitch, loses her shape, and is beaten on the inside edge
short of a length, pulled to deep square. Excellent over for the Strikers, just to ease that hint of pressure
flipped over the leg side, wide of mid-on
back of a length, straight, nudged into midwicket and that's another fifty for the prolific Devine. What. A. Season.
another one down the leg side, Devine misses her pull but gets the extra
full at off stump, pushed back to Peschel who gets a hand on it
