WATCH: Ellyse Perry suffers unfortunate run out as Sydney Sixers extend unbeaten run with win over Melbourne Renegades in WBBL|12

Sydney Sixers batter Ellyse Perry suffered an unfortunate run out during the 20th match of the Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL) 2026 against the Melbourne Renegades at Junction Oval on Thursday, November 12. The experienced Australian batter was involved in a crucial partnership with Amelia Kerr before a costly mix-up brought her innings to an end in the 18th over.

Perry’s dismissal came at a time when the Sixers were looking to accelerate towards the end of their innings. She had contributed 30 off 41 deliveries, while Kerr continued to anchor the innings at the other end. The run out ended their 56-run partnership and gave the Renegades an important breakthrough during the death overs.

The incident occurred on the fifth delivery of the 18th over when Sophie Molineux bowled to Kerr. The New Zealand all-rounder managed to complete a single before the batters attempted to turn it into a second run. However, Perry failed to make it back to the striker’s end in time as Georgia Wareham collected the ball and helped complete the run out.

Perry had to walk back after scoring 30 off 41 balls, including two boundaries. Her dismissal left the Sixers at 124/3 with 13 deliveries remaining in their innings. The wicket also ended a valuable 56-run stand between Perry and Kerr, who had helped their side recover after being reduced to 68/2.

Sixers maintain unbeaten run with win over Renegades

Earlier, the Sixers had elected to bat first after winning the toss, with Sophia Dunkley scoring 20 off 18 deliveries. Captain Ashleigh Gardner added 22 off 21 balls, but the Renegades kept picking up wickets to prevent the visitors from building a big total. Kerr stepped up with an impressive 53 off 34 deliveries, striking seven boundaries to take the Sixers to 140/6 in their 20 overs.

In reply, the Renegades suffered an early collapse and were reduced to 22/3 during the powerplay. Sophie Molineux and Nicole Faltum attempted to rebuild the innings, but the Sixers continued to pick up wickets at regular intervals. Tess Flintoff provided some late resistance with 44 off 31 balls, but Gardner claimed three wickets for 13 runs to bowl the hosts out for 129 on the final delivery.

The Sixers eventually secured an 11-run victory to extend their unbeaten streak in the tournament. Kerr was named Player of the Match for her impressive all-round contribution, having played a crucial role with both bat and ball.
