Heat vs Strikers, Challenger at Adelaide, WBBL, Nov 24 2022 - Match Result

It goes through covers. REDEMPTION FOR MADELINE PENNA! She was in the middle, heartbroken last year when Strikers went down in the final. She couldn't get going soon tonight but hits the runs that matter. Sees the tossed up ball, smashes it through covers to beat the fielder in the ring as well as in the deep to help them make the title-clash this season!

Slashes and Penna finds the gap and the boundary on the off side. Fires it on a length outside off, Penna manages to make good contact on the cut and beats backward point to her left.

Flatter and quicker outside off, slapped towards covers for one.

Tossed up full outside off, Penna manages to reach that and gets it via the outside edge towards short third.

Whacked away and all the way over deep square leg. The crowd goes bonkers! Once again she walks across and stands outside off. She was deep in her crease as well. As as result, she managed to get under the good length ball outside off and pump it for a maximum.

Walks down to the length ball, it was the legcutter again. Miscues it to deep midwicket. Will get just one.

Once again looks to walk across and go over square leg. But this time Sippel bowls it on a pace and on a length. Only gets it to the fielder in the ring.

Patterson makes excellent contact on the heave across the line! Another legcutter, on a length just outside off this time. She moves across and exploits the deep square leg region. Clears the fielder in the ring and it is four for the taking.

Slower one outside off, full in length as well. Penna moves across to whip it away. Misses and they cross over for a leg bye.

Slower one on a fullish length just outside off, Penna fails to get bat on that.

Slow and well outside off, again wide outside the line.

Starts the over with a four, ends with another! Full and around off and middle, she slinks down and hits it well over mid-off now. One-bounce four.

Tossed up outside off again, driven towards cover where a misfield allows the run.

Floated full outside off, she hits it twice and ends up getting it back to our bowler.

Quicker and flatter around off, taps it to the off side for a quick one.

Darts it full on off, thrashed to cover.

Patterson at it, starts with a four! Fires it full around leg, she makes room and hits it well over mid-on.

Full and wide cuit straight to Knott at backward point.

Full and slow just outside off, pushed back.

Terrific catch. Jess Kerr holds on to a tough one and what a time to get the set batter out! Another legcutter, again on a length around off and middle. Wolvaardt looks to heave it over the on side and ends up getting a top edge towards the off side. Kerr runs along - a bit back and a bit sideways - from short third and pouches it safely.
