MELBOURNE: India's T20 skipper
Harmanpreet Kaur dished out an all-round performance to guide
Melbourne Renegades
to a comfortable seven-wicket win over
Sydney Sixers
in the
Women's Big Bash league
on Sunday.
The 32-year-old took two wickets for 17 runs in her four overs to restrict Sydney Sixers to 118 for 4 and then blasted an unbeaten 35 off 29 balls, studded with one four and two sixes, to script a successful chase in 17 overs.
Harmanpreet, who had recently returned to action after recovering from a shoulder injury, was adjudged the player of the match.
Young
Shafali Verma
, however, had a disappointing day as she was dismissed for a golden duck by Melbourne skipper
Sophie Molineux (1/18).
Shafali's teammate in Sydney Sixers
Radha Yadav had a decent outing as she scalped one wicket for 12 runs in two overs but wasn't enough to stop the Renegades.
Yadav also took a sharp return catch to dismiss
Courtney Webb
(23).
In another match, Poonam Yadav endured a tough time as she bled 19 runs for no wicket in her 2 overs but her team Brisbane Heat won the match by 5 runs over Adelaide Strikers in a rain-hit game.
