- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.2 Mack steps on her stumps playing back! The extra bounce caused the problem. Mack went back a long way to try and cover the extra spin and bounce and she trod on her stumps with her back foot as she defended into the off side! 53/26.2 edged to short third on the circle! A wide outswinger, this could have been left for a wide, Wolvaardt reaches out with one hand and chases it, gets a thick edge that flies all the way to Cheatle who is stationed on the circle. Easy catch. Peterson continues to claim big scalps 51/113.1 take on the boundary line! Bolton gets a wicket in her final game. Tossed up full outside off stump. She comes down the track to hit it for six over long on, but doesn't have the distance. Big celebration from the Sixers, who know how dangerous McGrath can be. 97/315.4 Patterson falls over as she makes a mess of the sweep. She had moved to the off side to try and sweep but Ecclestone bowls full and flat on leg stump. BP misses, SE hits, Strikers hit by the Nelson curse. 111/416.3 full on middle and leg. Tries to go over cover - inside out - however it is a toe-ended shot. Easy reverse-cup catch for cover and the wheels are coming off for Adelaide! 112/5Extras10 (lb 7, nb 2, w 1)TOTAL147/5 (20 Overs, RR: 7.35)Fall of wickets: 1-51 (Laura Wolvaardt, 6.2 ov), 2-53 (Katie Mack, 7.2 ov), 3-97 (Tahlia McGrath, 13.1 ov), 4-111 (Bridget Patterson, 15.4 ov), 5-112 (Madeline Penna, 16.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.2 slower ball forces a mistake! She holes out to deep midwicket! Slower ball leg cutter, 86kph, completely deceives Bates, she was through the shot, reaching out and taking one hand off the bat to drag it to deep midwicket, Patterson moves to her left and takes the catch well 13/22.6 Penna hangs on! Redemption immediately! Another pull shot, short of a length, Healy swivels and cracks it flat straight to square leg and Penna holds on and screams in relief. Healy can't believe that was held after two went down 10/114.5 what a comeback ball! Full on middle, and tails away oh so late. Perry wants to drive straight, but the ball whizzes past her outside edge. 82/64.6 another slower ball, another miscue to mid on this time! Penna holds on! Dottin is dominating this final. This was a full toss outside off but it dipped on Gardner as she didn't read the slower ball and was through the shot too soon to drag it head high to Penna at mid on. Strikers firmly in command 13/35.5 Stumped! McPharlin fumbled initially but still pulled it off! Burns skipped down and played all around an off break that went through the gate, McPharlin fumbled with firm hands, but the ball dropped down in front of her and she had the presence of mind to knock it onto the stumps before Burns could get back 16/413.6 not what the Sixers wanted! She drags this onto her stumps. Full and slightly wide. She tries to keep going for the big shots, but inside edge rolls onto off stump 76/517.2 super slow mo delivery, and Ecclestone has been outfoxed! That's her 13th power surge wicket. Leg cutter with pace taken off. Length ball and Ecclestone is through the slog too too early. Off stump castled, Ecclestone goes for 15 110/719.6 Adelaide Strikers FINALLY win the WBBL. Fourth-time lucky, and what a defense this has been. For the record, this was full on middle and leg and the slog has been taken by Wolvaardt at long on. 137/1018.3 low full toss on leg stump. Swiped to wide long on, and they are coming for two. But Peterson has essentially sacrificed her wicket by trying to get Brown on strike. Fair play... 123/818.6 full and wide. Cut to Schutt at cover point. Misfield, and they try to take two to ensure Brown is on strike for the final over. Another sacrifice, this time at the keeper's end. 125/9Extras4 (lb 1, w 3)TOTAL137 all out (20 Overs, RR: 6.85)Fall of wickets: 1-10 (Alyssa Healy, 2.6 ov), 2-13 (Suzie Bates, 4.2 ov), 3-13 (Ashleigh Gardner, 4.6 ov), 4-16 (Erin Burns, 5.5 ov), 5-76 (Nicole Bolton, 13.6 ov), 6-82 (Ellyse Perry, 14.5 ov), 7-110 (Sophie Ecclestone, 17.2 ov), 8-123 (Kate Peterson, 18.3 ov), 9-125 (Angelina Genford, 18.6 ov), 10-137 (Maitlan Brown, 19.6 ov)
