AS-W vs BH-W 30th Match Highlights of Women’s Big Bash League 2025

The Adelaide Strikers revived their WBBL 2025 campaign with a tense six-wicket win over the struggling Brisbane Heat at North Sydney Oval. Chasing 150 for victory, the Strikers held their nerve in the final moments to finish on 151 for 4, sealing the match with just two balls left. So Let’s take a look at AS-W vs BH-W 30th Match Highlights of WBBL 2025.

For Brisbane Heat, the loss deepened their season-long woes. With injuries mounting and confidence dipping, they are now dangerously close to completing the first winless season in WBBL history.

Beaumont and Wolvaardt Set the Tone

Adelaide’s chase began with authority as Tammy Beaumont and Laura Wolvaardt laid a strong platform. Beaumont was in a destructive mood, smashing a fluent 64 off 40 balls. Her strokeplay was fearless—launching Nadine de Klerk into the stands and confidently stepping out to loft Charlie Knott down the ground.

Wolvaardt, playing her final match before leaving for national duties, played the perfect anchor. Her composed 49 off 45 ensured the Strikers never fell too far behind the required rate. Together, the duo added a decisive partnership that softened Brisbane’s early pressure.

Late Stumble, Late Recovery

The chase briefly wobbled when Strikers needed 14 from the final six deliveries of Knott’s last over. However, Ellie Johnston and skipper Tahlia McGrath finished strongly, maintaining calmness amid rising tension. McGrath remained unbeaten on 24, guiding her side across the line with experienced composure.

Brisbane Heat’s Season Continues to Spiral

Heat’s innings never truly clicked. Apart from Nadine de Klerk’s 25 off 13 and a late burst from Nicola Hancock (22 off 8), their batting lacked fluency and intent. They limped to 149 for 9, a total that always felt below par on a favorable batting surface.

Strikers’ bowlers were disciplined throughout. Tahlia McGrath starred with 3 for 27, while Elanor Larosa and Amanda-Jade Wellington chipped in with two wickets each, tightening the screws whenever Heat tried to rebuild.

Adding to the Heat’s misery was Hancock’s hamstring injury during the final ball, compounding a list already featuring Jess Jonassen and Jemimah Rodrigues on the sidelines. With only one point this season—earned from a washout—they are staring at a wooden spoon finish.
