Devine’s All-Round Masterclass Sends Scorchers Top of the WBBL Table

Sophie Devine produced a brilliant all-round display as Perth Scorchers beat Melbourne Stars by six wickets to make it four wins from four and move to the top of the WBBL table.

Devine first took two for 18 as the Stars were restricted to 136 for six, with Meg Lanning top-scoring with 56 and Georgia Prestwidge adding an unbeaten 23. Amy Edgar also claimed two wickets.

Chasing 137, Devine then smashed 55 from just 24 balls, with Beth Mooney contributing 28, as the Scorchers cruised home with five overs to spare.

A complete performance

Devine's two-for and rapid half-century summed up a dominant day for the Scorchers, who have now won all four of their matches and sit top of the standings on net run rate.

Stars left waiting

The Stars, who had Lanning in fine touch, could not find enough support for their captain with the bat, and their total was never likely to trouble a Scorchers side in full flow.
