Over the wicket. Fullish and in the slot. Kemp slogs it up and over mid-off. Long-off fielder rushes to her right and makes a stop. Two runs off it, and the scores are equal.
SCORES ARE LEVELLED!!! Mooney won't get her century.

C Henry to F Kemp
Single and that's it. Perth Scorchers win this game by seven wickets with four balls remaining. They now qualify for the playoffs of WBBL 2025. They have registered their sixth win of the tournament with this victory. Length ball around leg stump. Off-cutter. Shuffles a little to her off side this time and then gently tucks it towards the deep midwicket region for a single. Beth Mooney has been brilliant today with the bat and she remains unbeaten at 94. Brisbane Heat have had a horrid tournament this year. They fail to register a single victory from the ten league matches they played in WBBL 2025.

4:44 PM IST, 7:14 PM Local Time: The Perth Scorchers have chased down the target of 165/3. With this victory, they have qualified for the playoffs of the WBBL 2025 and are currently sitting in the second place. Moreover, the Brisbane Heat Women have become the first team in the history of the WBBL to end a season without a solitary win.
Choosing to bat first, Heat didn't had a good start as both their openers departed within the first two overs, forcing Lauren Winfield-Hill and Georgia Redmayne to rebuild. The pair added 46 runs for the third wicket before the English batter was undone by Lilly Mills. Redmayne, having played a supporting role early on, shifted the tempo once Siaana Ginger joined her at the crease, and together they stitched a stand of 48. She then put on another 33 with Chinelle Henry.
Redmayne brought up her first half-century of the season in this last league fixture but was dismissed for 57 in the penultimate over. Her and Henry’s quick exits threatened to halt the Heat’s progress, but Annie O'Neil stepped up at the right moment.
In an innings featuring only three sixes from the Heat, O'Neil struck two of them during a brisk and valuable 24 off nine balls. That late surge carried Brisbane to 164/7 — their second-highest total of the season.
For Scorchers, Alana King and Lilly Mills took two wickets each.
In reply, Perth had a better start. After losing their opener Katie Mack with 42 runs on the board, Beth Mooney and Maddy Darke added 67 runs for the second-wicket. Darke got dismissed for 24 but Mooney stayed there till the end and remained unbeaten at 94*. She ensured that her side wins the game by seven wickets with four balls remaining. Apart from the above batters, Sophie Devine and Freya Kemp made their presence felt by hitting a six each during their short stay in the middle.
For Heat, Sarah Glenn, who was playing her 150th T20 game, took two wickets.
Perth have now qualified for the playoffs and will hope to carry on this momentum in those games as well.
