A couple of decent WBBL games this morning.
First up was Perth against Adelaide which boiled down to super over that Peth dominated much more than they did their own innings. They needed just 2 balls to get the 9 runs needed as they hit two maximums. It was unfair dinkum (if such a thing exists) for the Adelaide bowlers who kept Perth in check throughout – most notably Amanda-Jade Wellington who got 2-12 from her 4.
In a later game, Brisbane strolled to an impressive looking win over Hobart with Grace Harris leading from the top with a 51 ball 75 making up a 140 run opening partnership. Brisbane never really looked back from there and eventually ran out 14 run winners.
Harris’ run scoring takes her top of the run scoring table whilst Jess Jonassen bagged another 3 wickets, taking her total to 12.
