WBBL 2024 Final HIGHLIGHTS
It was a rain-affected fair in Melbourne, as the Final witnessed an over-reduction. Brisbane Heat Women had won the toss and elected to bowl first.
Courtney Webb got off to a flying start, but her fun was shortt-lived as she was caught at the mid-wicket region by India's Jemimah Rodrigues. Heat produced few moments of ordinary fielding, as Hancock gave Renegades freebies in the form of overthrows.

A bizarre run-out of Deandra Dottin troubled the home side, as the veteran departed without facing a single delivery.
How about that 😳

Just when Renegades were seemingly struggling, Hayley Matthews played a captain's knock, as her 69 propelled them to an above-par score. The West Indian all-rounder's knock is now the highest-ever individual score in the WBBL Final.
Four. Four. Four.

Hayley Matthews delivered with the ball as well, as she got rid of the highly-dangerous Laura Harris for a godlen duck, and the Caribbeanwas well-complemented by her bowling unit, as Heat could manage only 90 runs in their 12 overs, thereby, handing Renegades the trophy.
