A devastating unbeaten half-century from Madeline Penna has helped Adelaide Strikers thump Hobart Hurricanes at Hurstville Oval.

Penna made the highest score by a No. 7 in WBBL history smashing 56 not out off 33 balls to help the Strikers post an excellent total of 6 for 141 having recovered from 6 for 72 in the 14th over. Penna and Tegan McPharlin, who made 18 not out, combined to dig the Strikers out of a hole with Penna producing some outstanding hitting in the final over off Nicola Carey. She smashed 24 from the 20th over, including a towering six over square leg to bring up her maiden WBBL half-century. Carey finished with figures of 2 for 44 having taken 2 for 20 from her first three overs. Brooke Hepburn took 2 for 23 claiming the scalps of Katie Mack and Laura Wolvaardt.

The Hurricanes never got close in the chase collapsing to be all out for 77, just days after being bowled out for 82 against Brisbane Heat.

Teen sensation Darcie Brown continued her outstanding form with the ball claiming 2 for 19. She clean bowled Rachel Priest for just 4 to start the rot in the 3rd over. Sarah Coyte took 3 for 10 and produced a run out to remove Chloe Tryon who was the only Hurricane to reach double figures.
