Sunday, 9 December 2018:

Melbourne Renegades and Adelaide Strikers had to settle for a share of the spoils, with their WBBL match falling victim to persistent rain at Ballarat in Victoria.

Sunday afternoon's match was just three balls shy of being a result, determined by the Duckworth-Lewis method, with the Strikers 2-27 off 4.3 overs when rain again swept through.

The Renegades had faced 14.3 overs reaching 4-83 when rain first hit Eastern Oval, forcing an early finish to the home side's innings.

Sophie Molineux top-scored for the Renegades with 44 not out off 37 balls before their innings was cut short.

That left the Strikers chasing 78 for victory off 11 overs, losing key batters Sophie Devine and Tahlia McGrath in the search for quick runs.

The Melburnians were seeking to make it a clean sweep over the Strikers, having won a dramatic contest on Saturday as Claire Koski hit a four off the last ball of the match.
