Perth Scorchers need 160 to keep their unbeaten start to WBBL|12 going after Sydney Thunder made 159/5 in the 18th match of the season at the WACA Ground in Perth on Wednesday. Sophie Devine led the hosts in place of the injured Beth Mooney.
Beth Mooney was ruled out before the game due to quad tightness. The Scorchers named Sophie Devine as captain in their 13-player squad and brought in experienced seamer Taneale Peschel.
Devine has done the job before. She led the Scorchers in earlier seasons and handed the captaincy to Mooney ahead of this campaign. She also comes into the game in strong form, having hit 55 off 24 balls with a 21-ball fifty and taken 2/18 against the Melbourne Stars on Sunday.
