The Sydney Thunder secured a six-wicket victory over the Hobart Hurricanes in the WBBL knockout final, chasing 127 runs with Phoebe Litchfield leading the charge. The Thunder now faces the Brisbane Heat in a grand final qualifier.
The Sydney Thunder beat the Hobart Hurricanes by six wickets in the knockout WBBL final to move into a grand final qualifier against the Brisbane Heat .
On a difficult Drummoyne wicket, the Thunder fell behind the asking rate multiple times, including needing 26 from the final three overs. The victory means the Thunder will play Brisbane in Friday night's grand final qualifier at Allan Border Field, with the winner of that to face the Melbourne Renegades on Sunday at the MCG.
Meanwhile, Hobart remains winless in all finals after four attempts. And it was clear in the third over that it was not going to be the Hurricanes' night when opener Ruth Johnston top-edged a pull shot, which landed immediately behind her and spun into her stumps for the first wicket of the match.
