Eyeing to seal a spot in the top four, Brisbane Heat won the toss and elected to bat first against the Sydney Sixers. Openers Grace Harris and Georgia Redmayne kicked off on a positive note against the pacers. While Redmayne played the anchorer’s role, Harris attacked the bowlers inside the powerplay to pile up 34 runs in four overs. With the fifty-run coming up thick and fast, the introduction of the wrist spinner coupled with Healy’s jinx brought about Harris’ downfall.
Healy had the mic and was engaged in a casual conversation with the on-air commentators when Amelia came out to bowl in the seventh over. The White Ferns all-rounder came over the wicket and bowled a widish length ball Harris tried to slog across the line. However, the batter ended up with a top edge for a safe pouch to Sarah Bryce behind the stumps. But the twist occurred before the ball when Healy suggested that Harris looked a little switched off but she’s has a good plan where she wants to hit the ball. Eventually, the commentators had a crack with Healy as the Aussie all-rounder departed what turned out to be a great wicket.
Lolwa!
