A horrifying Women's Big Bash League (WBBL) season for Brisbane Heat came to an end on Saturday, December 06, as the Perth Scorchers punched the final blow with a 7-wicket win at the W.A.C.A and finished at number 2, with 12 points to their name, while Heat crashed out of the competition from the bottom of the barrel.

The Charli Knot-led Heat came into the final match of their group stage, already knocked out of the tournament, registering no wins to their name, while one of the matches against the Sydney Sixers ended in a no-result. On the other hand, the fifth-placed Scorchers needed a win to jump to number 2, despite having a negative net run-rate.

While batting first upon winning the toss, Heat lost captain Knot for a duck in the first over, followed by the other opener, Lucinda Bourke and were reduced to 6/2 in 1/5 overs. The middle order, led by the wicketkeeper Georgia Redmayne's 57(47) and a late cameo of 24(9) from Annie O'Neil, kept them in the match with 164/7 on the board. Lully Mills was Perth's pick of the bowlers with 2/23 in 4 overs.

In response, opener and star batter Beth Mooney batted the Heat out of the match single-handedly and got 94*(61) with 12 fours to her name. Maddy Darke (24) was the only other batter with a 20+ score for them as they chased down 165 in 19.2 overs and 7 wickets. Sarah Glenn took 2/46 (4) as the Heat's best bowler on the night.
