Adelaide: India’s T20 skipper Harmanpreet Kaur and compatriot Jemimah Rodrigues slammed scintillating half-centuries to power Melbourne Renegades to a 15-run win over Brisbane Heat in Women’s Big Bash League here today. Harmanpreet was adjudged the Player of the Match after she smashed a whirlwind 32-ball 65 and then claimed one wicket in an all-round show for the Renegades. This is the third time she has won the award in seven matches.

After Rodrigues hit a 31-ball 52 to set the platform with a 101-run opening partnership with Evelyn Jones (62), Harmanpreet continued the momentum with her six-hitting spree as Melbourne Renegades posted 207/4, the second-highest total in WBBL history.

Renegades returned to dismiss Brisbane for 192. Medium-pacer Ellie Falconer snapped 4/29.

A total of 399 runs were scored during the match, making it the highest aggregate in WBBL history. PTI
