Melbourne Renegades Complete Fairytale Journey With Maiden WBBL Title
Big Bash League: Melbourne Renegades have won their first-ever Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL) title after defeating Brisbane Heat by seven runs via DLS method in a rain-affected final at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Sunday. The triumph completed Renegades' fairytale journey from the bottom to the champions.
Player of the match Hayley Matthews’ 69 runs off 61 balls guided the Renegades to 141/9 batting first, followed by contributions from Georgia Wareham (21) and Naomi Stalenberg (16), before a 30-minute rain delay reduced the Heat’s target to 98 runs in 12 overs.
After hitting the highest individual score in a WBBL final, Hayley then picked two wickets in one over to leave the Heat stumbling at 37/5 mid-way through the run chase, including losing Grace Harris (0) and Jemimah Rodrigues (1) in quick succession.
