Women's Big Bash League 2020 | Sydney Thunder beat Melbourne Stars to bag title
The match was a no-contest as Sydney Thunder restricted Melbourne Stars to just 86/9 in the allotted 20 overs. Thunder did not break a sweat in chasing down the total as the side achieved the target with 38 balls to spare.
Bowling first, Shabnim Ismail and Sammy-Jo Johnson scalped two wickets while all the other bowlers chipped in with one wicket each as Thunder restricted Stars to under the 90-run mark.
For Stars, Katherine Brunt was the top-scorer as she played an unbeaten inning of 22 runs.
When the side came out to bat, Heather Knight played an unbeaten knock of 26 runs off just 19 balls to take her side over the line with seven wickets in the bag.
Knight found support in Rachael Haynes and the duo formed an unbeaten stand of 33 runs to win their second WBBL title. Thunder had won the inaugural edition of the WBBL in the 2015-16 season and then the side had to wait for four more years to win their second title.
