HH-W vs BH-W | Twitter impressed as Lizelle Lee and Wyatt-Hodge help Hurricanes continue on top of table in WBBL

‌Hobart Hurricanes continued their perfect record in the Women’s Big Bash League 2025 season with a 16-run win over Brisbane Heat in a rain-affected match in Sydney on Saturday. Lizelle Lee shone with the bat with an unbeaten half-century and put on a game-changing partnership with Danni Wyatt-Hodge as the Hurricanes made it three-in-three to continue their run at the top of the points table. Meanwhile, the Heat’s miserable campaign continued as the side slipped to their third consecutive defeat to remain at the bottom of the pile.

After being put into bat at the Drummoyne Oval, the Hurricanes’ openers Lee and Wyatt-Hodge began with boundaries off Lucy Hamilton before Lee took on Sianna Ginger with a six and two fours in the next. The Heat skipper Jess Jonassen brought herself on in the last over of the powerplay, starting with a maiden as the score read 31/0 after the four-over mark. Though rain delayed proceedings and the match was reduced to 12 overs a side, the Hurricanes' openers continued in the same vein with Lee reaching her half-century in style, with a six of Nicola Hancock in the ninth over. The pair added 109 runs before Wyatt-Hodge was dismissed by Jonasenn in the final over of the innings. The side ended at a formidable 114/1 in 12 overs, with Lee top-scoring for them with three sixes and six fours during her unbeaten 45-ball 59. Meanwhile, Wyatt-Hodge hit five fours and two maximums to make 44 off 26 balls, with Jonassen ending with impressive figures of 1/12 in three overs.

With a revised target of 125 as per the DLS method, Heat lost opener Charli Knott cheaply in the second over. However, Grace Harris and Jemimah Rodrigues did not let that affect the scoring rate, taking the side to 28/1 after the three-over mark. But once Rodrigues and Jonassen departed for 20 and 18, respectively, the Heat endured a horrible collapse, slipping from 70/3 to 91/8. They finally ended at 108/9 after 12 overs, with Harris ending as their top run getter with a 21-ball 28, hitting five fours. Nicola Carey was the pick among the Hurricanes’ bowlers with a spell of 2/10 in two overs, while Heather Graham and Molly Strano also chipped in with two wickets.
