This pivotal moment unfolded in the third over of Brisbane Heat’s chase, as Harris misjudged a slower, beautiful in-swinging delivery from Hoskin, resulting in a clean bowled dismissal.

Alana King’s five-wicket haul seals victory

Batting first, Scorchers managed to post a competitive total of 142 for 8 in their allotted 20 overs. Beth Mooney led the charge, showcasing her form with a stellar 77 off 52 balls, including nine fours. Her knock anchored the innings and ensured that the Scorchers had a solid total to defend. Despite regular wickets falling at the other end, Mooney’s composure kept the scoreboard ticking and provided a target that was challenging for Heat.

In response, Heat struggled to build momentum and were bundled out for 114 runs in 18 overs, falling 28 runs short of the target. While Hoskin delivered a praiseworthy spell, it was Alana King who emerged as the standout bowler of the match. King delivered a match-winning four-over spell, claiming five wickets for just 16 runs, with a remarkable economy rate of 4.00. King’s sensational performance effectively dismantled the Heat’s batting lineup, leaving them unable to recover.

For her brilliant 77-run performance that set up Perth Scorchers’ innings, Mooney was named Player of the Match. Her innings proved to be the foundation of the Scorchers’ successful total, and her strategic scoring ultimately played a key role in their 28-run victory over Heat.
