Brisbane Heat secured their second consecutive WBBL|12 victory by defeating the Hobart Hurricanes by four wickets at Allan Border Field. Defending champions Hobart were restricted to 9-116 before Brisbane overcame a mid-innings collapse to chase down the target with 10 balls to spare, leaving the Hurricanes winless after four matches.
Nineteen-year-old Lily Bassingthwaighte set up the Heat's victory with a career-best 3-16, dismissing Chamari Athapaththu first ball. Although Hobart stand-in captain Heather Graham and Lauren Smith triggered a collapse that left Brisbane at 6-89, Annie O'Neil steered the hosts home with an unbeaten 32 off 28 balls.
