My fingers have frozen typing the excitement out for you! It was a pure T20 classic and as it turns out one team wins and the other misses out eventually. It was the day for the Scorchers to emerge victorious at home and so they did.
On that note, I, Manan Mehta will take your leave on behalf of my co-commentator Saptak Sanyal and the scorer/analyst for the day Manish Bishnoi.

Player of the match: Amy Edgar
6:30 PM IST and 9:00 PM Local Time: Absolute humdinger of a game! One that only the shortest format of the game can produce. Ebbs and flows right through and eventually the home side, the Perth Scorchers eke out, what will be a hall of fame victory by just 1 run! Agony for the Adelaide Strikers as they were so close but yet so far. That is how cricket is though, dreamy for some and dreadful for the others.
The Scorchers were put into bat first. Katie Mack and Beth Money departed early. However, post that Maddie Darke and Sophie Devine brought calm to the storm. They got the team from 15/2 to 59/3 as Darke got dismissed. However, from then on Sophie Devine joined hands with Paige Scholfield and they scored at a good rate to get the Scorchers to a decent 159 in their 20 overs.
Devine ended with 49 not out and Scholfield was 46 not out when the 20 overs were up. Darcie Brown was the pick of the bowlers for the Strikers as she got 2-25 to her name in her four overs spell. The chase began on an iffy note for the Strikers. Tammy Beaumont got dismissed early leaving the team 15-1.
That is when Laura Wolvaardt and Madeline Penna added 62 runs for the second wicket. They still were pretty much on track, but all hell broke loose when Laura Wolvaardt got dismissed for 41. The Strikers from 107/3 stumbled to 122/8. They lost three wickets in three balls at one stage, and one could easily count them out.
An inspired Sophie Ecclestone from nowhere got a couple to the boundary and once she was dismissed to everyone's surprise Darcie Brown emerged as a good batter. With 13 required off the last over, Brown hit two boundaries to get the equation down to 2 off 2.
That is when her non-regularity as a batter showed as she popped one straight up and a running Mooney took a fantastic catch to make the Scorchers win. For the Perth Scorchers it was Amy Edgar who was chief destroyer! A dream spell of 4-25 in her 4 overs absolutely dented the Strikers! One has to feel for the Strikers and Brown in particular, but the end result was that the Scorchers were victorious.

That is it! Mills holds her nerve to pull off one of the great wins for the Perth Scorchers in WBBL! Almost a collision out there but Mooney plucks an excellent catch to finish it for the Scorchers who keep themselves alive in the tournament!
19.5 L Mills to D Brown
W WICKETTTT!!! Mills holds her calm to win it for the Scorchers! This has been the most thrilling game in a while at the WBBL! Full ball at the stumps, Brown looks to tuck it around the corner! Unfortunately, the ball grips a tad and catches the outside edge of the bat and just loops up! Mooney runs at it from behind the wicket! Mills runs at it as well! The batters start to run just in case it gets dropped and guess what! Mooney stretches big time to grab it just! Remarkable finish to a remarkable game! Brown will be distraught as she played an unexpected blinder! However, Scorchers win and Alana King gets a dream birthday gift!
