The Strikers had to get to the final the hard way, and they've delivered. Last night, Amanda-Jade's record five-for helped overcome Brisbane Heat. Tonight's been an all-round effort from the entire team. Bowlers chipping in, Dane van Niekerk setting up the chase and Katie Mack polishing off these runs without much fuss. The finale should be an absolute cracker on Saturday in Perth.

Darcie Brown is the Player of the Match for her 2 for 9. This is her third such award this season. "Tried to pitch it up a bit. Schutt set the tone early with that first ball [wicket] which was good. It took me a little bit last night, it was good to play again. I guess I've been bowling short here and there, bouncer's more a variation than a normal thing, I've been trying to work on that. I haven't played at the Optus Stadium, seen a bit of the WNCL and it's pretty imposing. Looking forward to it."

O'Donnell to Mack, FOUR, those are the winning runs! The Strikers are through to the final. Mack makes room, the bowler fires this wide but she reaches out to get enough bat as that's sliced over point. Let the celebrations begin! It's Adelaide Strikers v Perth Scorchers in the grand finale.

O'Donnell to Wolvaardt, 3 runs, that's a copybook extra cover drive! Nice high elbow, feet right to the pitch as she laced that away. She enjoyed it so much that she held the pose for the cameras too for a while

O'Donnell to Wolvaardt, FOUR, gorgeous timing and placement! Short and it sat up nicely as Woolvardt stood tall and punched that through cover point. Delightful to watch
