The Adelaide Strikers have made history by becoming the first team to win back-to-back Weber WBBL Championships. The Strikers defeated the Brisbane Heat by three runs in a nail-biting final at Adelaide Oval on Saturday night.

The Strikers were made to work hard for their victory, as the Heat were always in the hunt. However, the Strikers held their nerve in the final over to secure the win.

Leg-spinner Amanda-Jade Wellington was named Player of the Match after taking a crucial wicket in the final over. Wellington finished with figures of 1-15 from her four overs.

The Strikers’ victory was a testament to their hard work and dedication throughout the season. The team was particularly strong at home, winning all five of their matches at Karen Rolton Oval and Adelaide Oval.

This is the Strikers’ second WBBL Championship title, and they will be hoping to add to their trophy collection in the years to come.
