WBBL | Hemalatha-Devine power duo and precision bowling dominate Sydney Thunder
Perth Scorchers defeated Sydney Thunder by 74 runs at Sydney, climbing to second place in the points table. The Scorchers’ batting was led by Sophie Devine’s 48 off 34 and Dayalan Hemalatha’s 41 off 26 while Sydney struggled with their batting and was bundled out for a mere 97 runs.
In response, Sydney Thunder had a shaky start as Ainsworth struck in the first over, dismissing Chamari Athapaththu. The trouble continued when Ainsworth claimed Georgia Voll shortly after. With Heather Knight and Phoebe Litchfield at the crease, Thunder managed to reach 42/2 by the seventh over. However, Litchfield couldn't build on her start and was dismissed in the eighth over. At the halfway point, Thunder's struggles deepened as they stood at 55/4 after Knight’s departure, leaving them needing 117 runs from the remaining 60 balls. Anika Learoyd fell in the next over followed by Sammy Jo-Johnson failing to shine. Hannah Darlington and Tahlia Wilson nurdled for three overs before the tail fell like a pack of cards, ending at 97 as Sydney won the game by 74 runs.
