Sun Dec 01 04:22:14 UTC 2024: ## Brisbane Heat Eye WBBL Glory After Challenger Final Triumph
**Melbourne, VIC –** The Brisbane Heat are heading to the WBBL|10 final brimming with confidence after overcoming a heartbreaking loss in last year’s decider and crushing the Sydney Thunder in Friday’s Challenger final. The Heat, two-time champions, will face the Melbourne Renegades at the MCG on Sunday at 1.20 pm AEDT.
Last year, the Heat narrowly missed a third WBBL title, losing by three runs after a last-ball drama. This year, fueled by that near-miss, they’ve embarked on a six-game winning streak, entering the final with a resounding nine-wicket victory over the Thunder.
Captain Jess Redmayne highlighted the team’s collective strength and the contributions of several new players, citing Grace Parsons’ player-of-the-match performance in the Challenger final as an example. Redmayne also expressed her belief in the team’s ability to perform under pressure, despite individual ups and downs throughout the season.
For veterans like Jess Jonasse, Grace Harris, and Laura Harris, Sunday’s final presents an opportunity for a third WBBL title. However, for many others, including Redmayne herself, it will be their first chance to taste victory in a final.
The final promises a thrilling contest, with the Heat looking to capitalize on their momentum and overcome the Renegades for the championship title. The match will be broadcast on the Seven Network, 7Plus, Fox Cricket, Kayo, and ABC and SEN radio.
