WATCH: Sianna Ginger cleans up Chinelle Henry with a beauty as Brisbane Heat thrash Hobart Hurricanes in WBBL|12

Brisbane Heat produced a commanding performance against Hobart Hurricanes in their latest WBBL|12 encounter at Ninja Stadium (Bellerive Oval), registering a comprehensive 10-wicket victory. The defending champions were bundled out for just 86 before the Heat chased down the target in a remarkable 5.4 overs, setting a new record for the fastest successful run chase in Women’s Big Bash League history in terms of balls remaining (86).

Sianna Ginger dismisses Chinelle Henry with a peach of a delivery

Among the standout moments of the contest was a brilliant delivery from Sianna Ginger that brought an end to Chinelle Henry‘s stay at the crease. The dismissal came off the final ball of the eighth over when Ginger cleverly took pace off the ball and bowled a well-disguised slower leg-cutter. The variation completely deceived Henry, who was beaten by the delivery while attempting to play her shot.

The ball sneaked past the batter’s defence before turning just enough to crash into the top of the off stump, leaving Henry with little chance of making a connection. It was a perfectly executed delivery from Ginger, who displayed excellent control and awareness to outfox an experienced international batter. The dismissal quickly became one of the most talked-about moments of the match, showcasing the young bowler’s ability to produce something special under pressure.

Brisbane Heat destroy Hobart Hurricanes’ batting unit

After winning the toss, Brisbane Heat elected to field first and immediately put the Hurricanes under pressure. Hobart’s batting line-up struggled to establish itself, losing three wickets for just 11 runs inside four overs. The situation deteriorated further as they slipped to 42/6 before completing 10 overs. Lauren Smith top-scored with 20 off 20 deliveries, while Heather Graham contributed 13 from 17 balls. However, the rest of the batting order failed to provide meaningful support as Hobart were dismissed for 86 in 17.5 overs.

Lily Bassingthwaighte was the standout performer with the ball, claiming three wickets for 25 runs. Her victims included important top-order batters Lizelle Lee, Nicola Carey and Heather Graham. Ginger also made a valuable contribution with figures of 2/8, while Lucy Hamilton (2/15) and Sarah Glenn (2/16) picked up two wickets apiece.

Grace Harris and Charli Knott complete the chase in just 5.4 overs

The Brisbane Heat openers made light work of the modest target, launching an aggressive assault on the Hurricanes’ bowling attack from the outset. Grace Harris and Charli Knott took advantage of the four-over power surge, collecting 60 runs during the phase and putting the result beyond doubt almost immediately.

Harris remained unbeaten on 52 from just 22 deliveries, smashing eight boundaries and two sixes. Knott provided equally explosive support, finishing with an unbeaten 34 off 12 balls, including four fours and two maximums.

The pair guided Brisbane Heat to 88 without losing a wicket in only 5.4 overs, sealing an emphatic victory with 86 deliveries remaining. The result also extended their winning streak to four consecutive matches in WBBL|12.
