Renegades Win WBBL Thriller on Last Ball After Rare No-Ball Stumping Call

The Melbourne Renegades won a remarkable WBBL match on the last ball at Bellerive Oval on Wednesday night, beating the Hobart Hurricanes by four wickets after a rare umpiring call handed them the winning run.

Chasing Hobart’s total of 154, the Renegades tied the scores as Deandra Dottin played and missed at the final ball, with Hurricanes wicketkeeper Lizelle Lee standing up to the stumps to prevent a bye.

The umpires ruled that Lee had taken the ball in front of the stumps, and the Hurricanes were docked a no-ball, giving the Renegades the extra run they needed for victory.

Molineux reaches a century

Renegades captain Sophie Molineux took four wickets for 22 runs, bringing up her 100th WBBL wicket, while Hurricanes skipper Nicola Carey did her best with 62 off 43 balls and two wickets for 30.

A collapse, then chaos

The Renegades had been cruising at one for 101 in the 13th over before Carey’s dismissal of Courtney Webb sparked a collapse of three wickets for nine runs, setting up the dramatic last-ball finish. The win is the Renegades’ first of the season, while the Hurricanes are without a win from three matches.
