WBBL: An epic 'catch' from Sixer's star Ash Gardner has been called controversial, after it may have cost the Scorchers in an epic super-over.
Controversial catch costs Perth in draw | 01:40A close call super over catch by star all-rounder Ash Gardner proved pivotal in a stunning WBBL tie between the Sydney Sixers and Perth Scorchers which could define the finals fate of both teams and left superstar Ellyse Perry feeling “a little bit sick ”.
Perry had blasted 67 to stay atop the WBBL run-scorers list but her teammates couldn’t finish off the job chasing just 127 at Ninja Arena after a Scorchers batting collapse opened the door for a victory needed by the Sixers to keep their finals chances alive. Travelling OK at 1-91 after 12 overs, Gardner put the Scorchers in a spin as they lost 4-9, with the Sixers and Australian all-round star snaring three, going past 100 WBBL scalps in the process, the first Sixers player to reach the milestone.
But consider that the most runs made by anyone in the BBL is Chris Lynn’s 3725, in 120 matches, and Mooney’s dominance of her competition is obvious.
