Australia wicketkeeper batswoman
Bath Mooney skillful innings helped Brisbane Heat to clinch their maiden Women’s
Big Bash League (WBBL) title in Sydney. Bowling efforts of Delissa Kimmince
(2/25) and Grace Harris (3/23) assisted the Heat to wrap up hosts Sixers for
131 for the loss of seven wickets.
Although Harris failed with the
bat, opener Mooney powered to add 84 for the third wicket with her skipper
Kirby Short in hot and testing conditions. Mooney brought up her fifty in just
35 deliveries, which included nine boundaries, before departing for 65, while short
pitched in with 29.
No other
Heat batswoman got to double figures, as they slipped from 98/2 to
126/7. With just four runs needed off five balls, Laura Harris walloped the
ball to the boundary to seal a memorable three-wicket victory over two-time
champions Sydney Sixers.
Ellyse
Perry, on the other hand, was declared Player of the Tournament for amassing
744 at an average of 93 and scalping 10 wickets. Short heaped praises on Sixers
skipper Perry for making it a great contest.
