Perth Scorchers Women opener Beth Mooney has created history, as the Australia legend becomes the first-ever cricket to score 5000 runs in Big Bash League, be it across the Men's format, or the Women's format.

The feat was achieved during the first innings of the Match 34 of WBBL 2024, as Perth Scorchers Women took on the Sydney Sixers Women in a decisive clash.

Beth Mooney was sharp behind the stumps as well, as she got rid of the dangerous Ashleigh Gardner by grabbing a stunning catch behind the stumps.

The Australian all-rounder was forming a partnership with Ellyse Perry to guide Sydney Sixers Women out of trouble, but fell prey to Ebony Hoskin in the 12th over, as her innings ended on 17.

The wicket proved to be a game-changer, as Perth Scorchers Women made a good recovery to force the match into a sensational tie.
