‘No way’: 17yo prodigy stuns with ‘next level’ catch of season, four-wicket haul

Seventeen-year-old bowler Caoimhe Bray produced a standout all-round fielding display and claimed 4-28 to help the Sydney Sixers defeat the Sydney Thunder by nine runs on the DLS method at North Sydney Oval. In a rain-shortened 16-over contest, Bray dismissed key batters and produced a remarkable boundary-line effort to set up Sarah Coyte's catch, keeping the Thunder to 158 in their run chase.

Earlier, Ash Gardner powered the Sixers to 2-162 with an unbeaten 64 off 25 deliveries, recording the second-fastest half-century in WBBL history. Ellyse Perry contributed an unbeaten 59 and executed a crucial run-out, while Gardner added two wickets to ensure the Sixers maintained a perfect 4-0 start to their campaign.
