Sarah Coyte hit a boundary off the final ball to give Sydney Sixers a four-wicket WBBL victory over Brisbane Heat.
Sarah Coyte struck a boundary off the final ball to give Sydney Sixers a thrilling four-wicket WBBL victory over Brisbane Heat at Allan Border Field on Friday night. The Sixers were chasing 155 for victory and looked set for a comfortable win needing five runs off Lucy Hamilton's final over. However, Hamilton's death bowling changed the equation to three runs off two balls. When Erin Burns was run out attempting a second run on the penultimate delivery, the Sixers needed two runs off the last ball for victory or one to force a Super Over.
Coyte stepped up and squeezed a fuller Hamilton delivery just wide of the backward point fielder for the match-winning boundary. Ellyse Perry's 58 off 38 balls provided the foundation for the successful chase, lifting the Sixers to 1-103. A collapse of 4-27 put the pressure back on, but Alice Capsey's 21 not out off 14 balls steadied the innings.
Brisbane's Georgia Redmayne and Charli Knott both produced half-centuries in the Heat's innings, scoring 58 off 44 and 57 off 47 balls respectively. Knott hit five fours and three sixes while Redmayne registered eight boundaries as Brisbane moved to 1-117 in the 15th over before finishing on 5-154.
