OUT! Run Out. Hannah Darlington to Nicole Faltum. Length ball, cutting, missed to wicketkeeper, fielded by Wilson, by Darlington.
A great performance with the ball has put the Thunder in prime position to take out their second WBBL title. Ismail started the innings fantastically, dismissing both openers and Johnson and Darlington carried on the good work as they mixed their pace up superbly to limit the Stars to 9-86. The Stars were unable to generate any momentum with the bat as questionable shot selection ensured they couldn't build any significant partnerships.
