Perth Scorchers 134 for 0 (Devin 70*, Mooney 47*). Melbourne Renegades 133 for 5 (Warham 57*) 10 wickets
Devine and Mooney smashed the Renegades’ bowlers to all corners of the Junction Oval in Melbourne on Saturday to seal the Scorchers’ sixth win of the season with 52 balls to spare.
New Zealand captain Devine scored an unbeaten 70 off 36 balls, hitting 8 sixes and leveling the Renegades completely. Australia ace Mooney’s unbeaten 47 off 32 balls was relatively tame in comparison to Devine’s fireworks.
Devine took a liking to Sarah Goyt, the Renegades bowler hitting 40 runs in her two overs, including four sixes.
It was Devine and Mooney’s third century in their last four matches, following a partnership of 131 against the Brisbane Heat and 105 against the Renegades in their previous encounter.
The hosts struggled to get out after skipper Hayley Mathews’ slow exit on 8 off 15 balls. Even with international stars Mathews and Harmanpreet Kaur in their XI, the Renegades’ campaign turns out to be a disaster.
Amy Edgar was the standout bowler for the Scorchers with 2 for 14 in her four overs including 16 dot balls.
They beat the defending champions Strikers in their second match, but have dropped to seven-straight defeats from bottom of the table with a 1-8 record. The Scorchers have moved up to second place in the race for the top spot, meaning they can qualify directly for the home grand final.
