- Clutch bowling delivers 12-run triumph
- Marizanne Kapp crowned player of the final despite illness
South African allrounder Marizanne Kapp has starred with bat and ball to help lift the Perth Scorchers to a 12-run victory over the Adelaide Strikers in the WBBL Final.
In reply to the Scorchers’ 5-146, the Strikers were restricted to 2-16 in the six-over powerplay before finishing at 6-134. Kapp, who had been sick all week, scored an unbeaten 31 off 23 balls to help lift the Scorchers to a solid total, but her greatest contribution was with the ball. The 31-year-old’s first two overs in the powerplay cost just two runs in a display that put the heat on the Strikers straight away.
