Sophie Devine starred with a 24-ball 46 and two wickets, steering PS-W to a four-wicket victory
Mooney's fluent 41 laid the platform for a successful chase before late wickets fell
Renegades posted 150 thanks to Faltum's 41, but a top-order collapse left them short
Perth Scorchers Women captain Sophie Devine starred with bat and ball to guide her team to a four-wicket win over Melbourne Renegades Women in Match 25 of the Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL) 2025 at the Junction Oval in Melbourne on November 27.
Chasing a target of 151, Devine top-scored for her side with 46 runs off 24 balls, including six fours and two sixes. She was aided by her opening partner Beth Mooney, who added 41 off 31. Despite a flurry of wickets later on, the start these two provided allowed PS-W to reach the target with eight balls to spare.
Earlier, Melbourne Renegades’ innings folded at 150. Their top order collapsed under sustained pressure, with Devine taking the crucial wickets of Emma de Broughe and captain Sophie Molineux.
Nicole Faltum’s 41-run knock off 28 balls was crucial for MR-W, but ultimately, their total proved too small for their bowlers to defend.
