India’s T20 skipper Harmanpreet Kaur dished out an all-round performance to guide Melbourne Renegades to a comfortable seven-wicket win over Sydney Sixers in the Women’s Big Bash league today.

The 32-year-old took two wickets for 17 runs in her four overs to restrict Sydney Sixers to 118/4 and then blasted an unbeaten 35 off 29 balls, studded with one four and two sixes, to script a successful chase in 17 overs.

Harmanpreet, who had recently returned to action after recovering from a shoulder injury, was adjudged the player of the match.

Young Shafali Verma, however, had a disappointing day as she was dismissed for a golden duck by Melbourne skipper Sophie Molineux (1/18).

Radha Yadav, Shafali’s teammate in Sydney Sixers, had a decent outing as she scalped one wicket for 12 runs in two overs but that wasn’t enough to stop Melbourne. Radha also took a sharp return catch to dismiss Courtney Webb (23).

In another match, Poonam Yadav endured a tough time as she bled 19 runs for no wicket in her 2 overs but her team Brisbane Heat beat Adelaide Strikers by five runs in a rain-hit match. — PTI
