Hobart Hurricanes Vs Perth Scorchers Highlights, WBBL Final: Lizelle Lee Powers HH-W To Maiden Title

Perth Scorchers Women have won the toss and have opted to bat.

Hobart Hurricanes Women: Lizelle Lee (wk), Danielle Wyatt-Hodge, Nat Sciver-Brunt, Nicola Carey, Elyse Villani (c), Heather Graham, Rachel Trenaman, Lauren Smith, Hayley Silver-holmes, Linsey Smith, Molly Strano

Perth Scorchers Women: Katie Mack, Beth Mooney (wk), Sophie Devine (c), Maddy Darke, Freya Kemp, Paige Scholfield, Chloe Ainsworth, Alana King, Lilly Mills, Ruby Strange, Amy Edgar

Beth Mooney and Katie Mack get the Perth Scorchers' innings underway in Hobart. Off-spinner Molly Strano bowls a tidy first over, conceding just four runs. Seamer Nicola Carey sends down the second and five runs are scored off it. Sluggish start by T20I standards, but it's a huge stage and there would be early nerves on either side.

PS-W: 9/0 (2)

A reverse sweep leads to Katie Mack's (17 off 21) downfall, as she is caught at deep point by Linsey Smith off Lauren Smith's bowling. Beth Mooney has since been joined by Maddy Darke and the duo would aim to lift the scoring tempo, no doubt.

PS-W: 47/1 (7)

The Hurricanes have seized the initiative soon after the powerplay. Maddy Darke departs in the eighth over and Heather Graham cleans up the dangerous Beth Mooney, before Linsey Smith gets rid of Freya Kemp in her first over. The onus squarely on Sophie Devine now to resurrect the Scorchers' innings.

PS-W: 79/4 (13)

Heather Graham claims her second big scalp of the night, having Sophie Devine stumped by Lizelle Lee to end her stay in the 17th over. The Hurricanes lose half their side and are still unable to push their run rate over seven. Paige Scholfield and Alana King in the middle now, with the last three overs to come.

PS-W: 113/5 (17)

Nicola Carey delivers a splendid last over, conceding just three runs as the Scorchers are unable to get the kind of late push they would have hoped for. The Hurricanes will be chasing a 138-run target, one they would perhaps fancy, though the big-match pressure cannot be discounted.

PS-W: 137/5 (20)

Chloe Ainsworth takes the new ball for the Scorchers and Lizelle Lee faces up to her, with Danni Wyatt-Hodge at the non-striker's end. Lee is off to a flier, getting three consecutive boundaries to get going.

HH-W: 12/0 (1)

Amy Edgar cleans up Danni Wyatt-Hodge in the sixth over but that's the only Hurricanes wicket to fall so far. Lizelle Lee (34 not out off 25) is going strong and Nat Sciver-Brunt (14 not out off 14) is batting alongside her. The Scorchers need their star spinner Alana King to weave her magic, failing which the Hurricanes would coast to the 138-run target.

PS-W: 67/1 (9)

Lizelle Lee is fittingly there till the end, as Hobart Hurricanes waltz to their first-ever Women's Big Bash League title. Lee hits an incredible 77 not out off 44 balls as the Hurricanes coast past their 138-run target in just 15 overs, losing two wickets in the process.

HH-W: 141/2 (15) beat PS-W (137/5) by 8 wickets
