Rain agonisingly denies Thunder win in WBBL
- Published
Sydney Thunder were agonisingly denied by the rain in their game against Adelaide Strikers in the Women's Big Bash League.
Thunder were chasing 46 in five overs to beat Strikers and were 43-0 when the rain returned 2.5 overs into their innings.
Phoebe Litchfield had smashed eight fours in an unbeaten 38 off 15 balls, while Georgia Voll was five not out.
Strikers' innings was delayed by rain, with the match shortened to five overs per side.
They posted 45-2 with Laura Wolvaardt making 22 off 13 balls and Tahlia McGrath 12 not out off six.
Both sides take a point but remain outside of the knockout places with Strikers sixth and Thunder seventh.
Friday's other game between Sydney Sixers and Brisbane Heat was washed out with a ball bowled.
Sixers are fifth, and Heat, who are yet to win, are bottom.
