Thunder romp past 179 target as Heat's winless run stretches on

The chase was driven by an aggressive batting effort from Litchfield, Laura Harris and Knight, who attacked throughout and gave the Heat's bowlers little chance to apply pressure.

Chasing 179 is a demanding task in short-form cricket, so finishing with 20 deliveries unused shows how dominant the Thunder were with the bat. A side that wins with balls to spare has scored faster than the required rate, and a margin of that size points to a one-sided contest once the chase was under way.

Harris is listed in the publication's records as a right-handed batter who also bowls right-arm off-spin, and was born on 18 August 1990.

For the Heat, the result prolongs a run without a win that dates back to November 2024, while the Thunder can take confidence from a convincing chase of a sizeable total.
