- BATSMENRB4s6sSR4.2 six, four and out! Healy falls! Insane delivery! It's pitched up. Healy should be coming forward, but she's stuck on the crease. She gets squared up by the late outswing. She tries to work the ball through the leg side, but the ball, pitching on middle, curls past the edge and topples off stump, Ridiculously good! 26/113.3 top edge and it's taken by the keeper! That's a massive wicket. Perry's not been her usual self today, the slow pace of the Heat bowlers not letting her power game come out. Here she tries to force it a bit, jumping down the track, then having to go down on one knee to sweep a length ball from outside off. Doesn't catch it off the middle. Beth Mooney sure does though 83/311.4 taken at deep midwicket! The Heat needed to up the run-rate. So Gardner goes for it, launching a length ball, which offers her the opportunity to get under it and since it's outside off, she can also free the arms. Just doesn't get enough power in the shot and walks away shaking her head 69/216.5 gooooneeee! And it's superb work from Mooney behind the stumps! Burns is spectacular with the sweeps - here she goes for the reverse, connecting very very well with the shot, but the wicketkeeper spots it, dives to her right and picks up a stunner. Heat are all over the Sixers! 97/515 taken by midwicket running to her right! What a way to go. Lobbing a slow full toss tamely to the fielder. Sixers struggling for quick runs. 89/419.1 steps out to launch it over extra cover, but doesn't quite get so much on the ball. Kirby Short backtracks from cover and makes a tough catch look easy on a day her team-mates were dropping dollies 120/620 stumped! Harris does well to keep tossing the ball up. Smith steps out, but she's reaching out for the ball, misses it and Mooney does the rest 131/7Extras4 (lb 4)TOTAL131/7 (20 Overs, RR: 6.55)Fall of wickets: 1-26 (Alyssa Healy, 4.2 ov), 2-69 (Ashleigh Gardner, 11.4 ov), 3-83 (Ellyse Perry, 13.3 ov), 4-89 (Sara McGlashan, 14.6 ov), 5-97 (Erin Burns, 16.5 ov), 6-120 (Marizanne Kapp, 19.1 ov), 7-131 (Lauren Smith, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR1.3 Harris is run-out having hurt her knee! She takes off down the pitch after seeing her partner tap the ball into the covers. Mooney isn't really interested in the run, which forces Harris to put the breaks on, and at that point, her right knee buckles, a right knee that is already injured, and she just couldn't recover 6/114.5 oh, she's gone! She's finally fallen! Comes down the track to chip a legbreak on her pads over midwicket, but Ellyse Perry's there on the boundary, she rushes in, gets down low and picks the catch inches off the ground. Sixers captain with a game-changing moment. 102/42.4 goooooneeee! She swings across the line of a straight delivery - angled into the stumps from wide of the crease - and the ball has a free path straight into leg stump. 14/214.1 taken at long-on. The Drummoyne erupts! A very flat crowd; a very silent but very full house has sprung to life as Short steps out to clear the straight boundary but ends up spooning a catch to Erin Burns the fielding hero from the semi-final 98/315.1 LBW! Sixers are blowing the roof off this place! Jonassen plays the standing sweep again - reverse this time - but she's misjudged the length. Its too full for a shot like that and the moment she's stuck on the pads, she's sent on her way. Replays, though, seem to suggest she may have been struck outside the line of off stump. 103/517.4 lbw to a full toss! Dooley goes for the sweep, playing across the line of a perfectly straight delivery and paying the price 116/618.5 she's run-out! Whips a shorter delivery away between midwicket and long-on. Kapp's down there, the fast bowler's throw is inch-perfect and Healy this time breaks the bails off perfectly. Sixers back in it! 126/7Extras2 (nb 1, w 1)TOTAL132/7 (19.2 Overs, RR: 6.82)Fall of wickets: 1-6 (Grace Harris, 1.3 ov), 2-14 (Sammy-Jo Johnson, 2.4 ov), 3-98 (Kirby Short, 14.1 ov), 4-102 (Beth Mooney, 14.5 ov), 5-103 (Jess Jonassen, 15.1 ov), 6-116 (Josephine Dooley, 17.4 ov), 7-126 (Laura Wolvaardt, 18.5 ov)
