Brisbane Heat's resurgence in the WBBL continued in spectacular fashion on Saturday at Bellerive Oval with a 10-wicket demolition of reigning champions Hobart Hurricanes. The Heat chased down Hobart's 86 all out in just 5.4 overs, marking the competition's fastest-ever successful run chase and leaving 86 balls unused.
Openings pair Grace Harris and Charli Knott made light work of the target. Harris scored 52 not out off 22 balls while Knott contributed 34 not out off 12 deliveries. Together they combined for 12 fours and four sixes. Brisbane's powerplay was dominant, yielding 62 runs in four overs and setting a new WBBL record for a powerplay score.
Hobart's innings had collapsed earlier in the day. Captain Nicola Carey was dismissed for 3-11 inside her team's powerplay, leaving them at 6-42. Lauren Smith top-scored with 20. Lily Bassingthwaite took 3-25, with Sianna Ginger, Lucy Hamilton and Sarah Glenn each claiming two wickets.
The victory means Brisbane have now secured four wins in the past ten days and consolidate third position on the ladder, ending a 706-day winless streak. Hobart, the reigning champions, have crashed to a 0-6 record with their title defence now in tatters.
