WBBL 2024: Alice Capsey seeks duck after five-wicket haul as Renegades lose to Scorchers

Alice Capsey took the first five-wicket haul but was dismissed for a first-ball duck. Melbourne Renegades’ low-scoring defeat to Perth Scorchers In the Women’s Big Bash League.

This was Capsey’s latest failure in a series of poor returns with the bat; He has only scored 27 runs and a high score of 14 in five innings in the WBBL so far.

Capsey’s poor form with the bat began at the T20 World Cup in October, where he scored three single-figure scores, contributing to England’s exit from the tournament in the group stage.

The 20-year-old took 5-25 in 3.5 overs, with three of those wickets coming in the final; Scorchers, on the other hand, were bowled out for 108 in 19.5 overs.

Capsey, currently the tournament’s third-highest wicket-taker, was dismissed by Chloe Ainsworth in the fourth ball of the Renegades’ chase after Courtney Webb was dismissed from the third ball.

The Renegades were bowled out for 106 in the last innings of their innings and they have now lost three of their five games. The Scorchers won three of their four matches.

Both teams’ next match on Saturday will see the Scorchers take on the Hobart Hurricanes (23:10 GMT), while the Renegades will take on the Melbourne Stars (04:00 GMT).
