Meanwhile, Grace Harris had the most perfect start to the chase. She slammed 21 runs off 16 balls to lead Brisbane to a 9-wicket victory, thus sealing a playoff spot. That being said, for the final game, Brisbane Heat will aim to continue the winning moment and keep spirits high.

BH-W vs SS-W: Sydney Sixers Women

Sydney Sixers Women, on the other hand, are more or less eliminated from the playoff race as they stand 6th on the points table with 8 points. Their previous game resulted in a dramatic tie. Perth Scorchers Women brilliantly defended a low total of 126 runs despite Ellyse Perry leading with 67 off 53 balls. 

A run out on the final ball of the 20th over pushed the game into a super over, and in an anti-climax moment, the super over was also tied. Hence, the match stayed tied, and both teams were awarded a point each. Needless to say, the dramatic result severely hampered the Sixers’ standing on the points table as they stood on the brink of elimination. 

BH-W vs SS-W: Pitch Report

The pitch at Allan Border Field in Brisbane generally starts off good for batting. However, as the game progresses, the surface can slow down, making run-scoring more challenging and spinners more effective. 150-160 is a par score in T20s. The weather in Brisbane is not very promising. Hence, a full game is unlikely. Regardless, chasing is a good option to stay in control of the innings.
