MATCH REPORT
Follow UsMelbourne Renegades register a comfortable seven-wicket victory over Sydney Sixers in the Women's Big Bash League (WBBL) on Sunday (October 24) thanks to a match-winning performance from India T20I skipper Harmanpreet Kaur.
Harmanpreet first finished with figures of 2 for 17 with the ball to restrict Sixers to 118 for 4 and with the bat she smashed an unbeaten 35 off 29, earning her the player of the match award. She has been in good form this season, scoring 41 and 24* in the previous two matches, and has also picked up a couple of wickets.
Young Shafali Verma, however, had a disappointing day as she was dismissed for a golden duck by Melbourne skipper Sophie Molineux (1 for 18).
Shafali's teammate in Sydney Sixers Radha Yadav had a decent outing as she scalped one wicket for 12 runs in two overs but wasn't enough to stop the Renegades. Yadav also took a sharp return catch to dismiss Courtney Webb (23).
In another match, Poonam Yadav endured a tough time as she bled 19 runs for no wicket in her 2 overs but her team Brisbane Heat won the match by 5 runs over Adelaide Strikers in a rain-hit game.
