Hurricanes Make It Five in a Row, Beat Renegades in Rain-Hit Clash

Hobart Hurricanes extended their unbeaten run in the WBBL 2025 season, claiming their fifth straight victory with a six-wicket win over the Melbourne Renegades in a rain-affected contest at North Sydney Oval.

The Renegades posted 155, driven by a fiery 26-ball 41 from ç and a 56-run stand with Alice Capsey. Despite early blows from Molly Strano, who removed both openers, Wareham’s counterattack—featuring four consecutive boundaries and a six—lifted her side before Heather Graham’s tight spell of 3 for 23 triggered a collapse of 6 for 49.

Chasing a DLS-adjusted target of 106 from 12 overs, the Hurricanes overcame early setbacks as Lizelle Lee and Nat Sciver-Brunt fell cheaply. Nicola Carey (39 off 29) and Danielle Wyatt-Hodge steadied the chase, keeping the scoring ahead of the rate. Graham added a valuable 14, and Elyse Villani sealed the win with a six, finishing the job with an over to spare after a second rain delay.

Brief Scores:
Melbourne Renegades 155 in 19.3 overs (Georgia Wareham 41; Heather Graham 3-23)
Hobart Hurricanes 106/4 in 12 overs (Nicola Carey 39; Georgia Wareham 2-17)
Result: Hurricanes won by six wickets (DLS).
