Perth Scorchers' five-game winning streak in the Women's Big Bash League ended with a 51-run defeat to Adelaide Strikers at the WACA Ground. Adelaide scored 4-202, the highest total of the season so far, with South African superstar Laura Wolvaardt making 83 not out. Perth fell well short of the required chase, being restricted to 9-151.
Additional context suggests the contest was decided through Adelaide's strong finish, with the visitors scoring 110 runs from their final eight overs. Perth also conceded 3-33 inside the first six overs of their response.
Controversy arose during Perth's innings when New Zealand batter Sophie Devine was dismissed for a second-ball duck after leg-spinner Anesu Mushangwe's delivery. The third umpire sent Devine on her way based on grainy vision of a low catching chance, though Wolvaardt initially signalled she was unsure whether the ball had carried.
Batter Freya Kemp pledged the Scorchers would not panic despite the heavy defeat knocking them off the ladder's top. Perth now face a road trip, beginning with defending champions Hobart Hurricanes on Thursday in Brisbane, followed by Sydney Sixers on Saturday.
