Georgia Wareham (62) and wicketkeeper Nicole Faltum (48) rescued the visitors from complete humiliation, combining for a club record fifth-wicket partnership of 109. Scorchers lost Katie Mack (9) early in the chase, but ctain Beth Mooney (58*) and former skipper Sophie Devine (47*) were completely untroubled. Devine plied the finishing touches when she heaved Wareham for back-to-back sixes to raise victory.

Stars’ chase started strongly, with Rhys McKenna (40) and ctain Meg Lanning (32) putting on 77 for the first wicket before Wellington sparked a collse.
She trped Lanning lbw, then dismissed Amy Jones (2) thanks to England star Ecclestone’s one-handed hanger at mid-off. “So pleased for the girls to get that first win and start our season well here,” Wellington told Fox Cricket. “I feel like those two players (Schutt and Brown) are massive for our team.
We went out there and showed what we can do without those girls.” Earlier, South African Laura Wolvaardt (70), skipper Tahlia McGrath (43*), and Madeline Penna (36* off 13 balls) carried Strikers to their equal second-highest score ever. After Wolvaardt and McGrath put on 82 for the second wicket, Penna entered and clubbed four fours and three sixes in a whirlwind cameo, as Strikers blasted 76 off the last five overs, including 42 from the last two.
