Brisbane Heat are through to their fourth WBBL decider after legspinner Grace Parsons broke the back of the Sydney Thunder batting line-up in another slick exhibition of her craft. Heat skipper Jess Jonassen sent the Thunder in at Allan Border Field and marshalled her bowlers to perfection as the visitors crashed to 7-69. A record WBBL stand of 64 for the eighth wicket by Hannah Darlington and Taneale Peschel lifted the Thunder to 7-133. But the Heat polished off the runs in 15.
“Cam Boyce, our leg spin coach, has been awesome instilling belief. Last year it was disappointing to miss out but it gave me 12 months to hone my skills. “To be able to have the opportunity to play a final on the MCG is a dream come true. I don’t think it gets much better.” Thunder opener Georgia Voll was looking good against her former side before chopping on to the first ball of Nicola Hancock’s spell.
