WBBL 2026: Melbourne Renegades stun Sydney Sixers to clinch nail-biting win
Melbourne Renegades Women secured a crucial two-wicket win over Sydney Sixers in a nail-biting encounter at North Sydney Oval on Sunday. The blazing win also brought Sixers' unbeaten run to an end. Chasing 153 for victory, the Renegades got over the line in exactly 20 overs, putting up 156/8 and rising to the fifth spot in the points table. Sophie Molineux's and Chloe Tryon's explosive knocks of 38 and 43, respectively, helped the Renegades prevail over the Sixers after Ashleigh Gardner briefly derailed their momentum, taking four crucial wickets early on.
The victory was incredibly amazing for Melbourne, who had suffered an 11-run defeat against the Sydney Sixers earlier in the tournament. This time, however, they hit back hard, showing greater determination to manage to corner the Sixers.
Asked to bat, the Sydney Sixers had a blazing start, with Sophia Dunkley hammering a crucial innings of 49, slamming eight boundaries. But they experienced an early setback when Ellyse Perry departed after scoring only three runs. However, Amelia Kerr contributed 22 off 17 balls to stabilise the innings. Down the order, Sixers’ star Ashleigh Gardner blazed an astonishing knock of 55 from 31 to lead her side to 152/6.
