Sydney Sixers claimed a 57-run victory over Hobart Hurricanes, giving them a strong chance to make it to the finals. The home team was struggling at 39 for 3, but Ash Gardner, Chloe Tryon, and Suzie Bates helped lift their score to 166 for 9. Despite losing a few wickets in quick succession, Bates’ experience helped the team avoid a collapse.
Ellyse Perry and Lauren Cheatle contributed with key wickets, while Hurricanes’ Naomi Stalenberg made a brief effort to turn the game around. However, the target was too high for Hurricanes to achieve, and the Sixers overtook them in the standings with the win.
