Brisbane Heat powerhouse Laura Kimmince is bordering on unstoppable.

The big-hitter put her team on track for a third consecutive WBBL title after an outstanding display with the bat sealed a stunning come-from-behind win over the Perth Scorchers,

While teen gun Charli Knott hit the winning runs with four balls remaining, it was Kimmince who ensured the win, with a masterful unbeaten innings of 40 off just 17 deliveries.

In her past three bats, Kimmince has scored 104 runs, off just 44 balls, including 11 fours and seven sixes.

After restricting the Scorchers to 8/137, the Heat would have fancied its chances at Sydney’s Hurstville Oval.

But it was reeling at 3/12 after losing Grace Harris and Jess Jonassen for ducks in the opening over before Georgia Voll holed out in the second.

Maddy Green (35 off 34) and Georgia Redmayne (31 off 36) stabilised the innings to give the Heat a chance before Kimmince strode to the crease and dismantled the Scorchers attack, playing several audacious shots including a massive reverse sweep for six.

Kimmince had already played a key role in the game, taking a diving one-handed catch to dismiss Scorchers opener Beth Moody for 49, just as she threatened to break free.

The win pushes the Heat to second place on the ladder and all but seals its place in the top four, while the Scorchers remain in contention for a semi-final spot despite the loss.

In the later game, the bottom- to-top triumph the Melbourne Stars hoped for when they lured Meg Lanning back home and brought in T20 master Trent Woodhill in as coach is looking more and more likely.

The green team has never made the WBBL finals in five seasons, and finished second-last last year. But on Wednesday the Stars cemented top spot on the table with a crushing win over the Hobart Hurricanes.

Lanning didn’t do much damage with the bat, leaving it to teen star Annabel Sutherland, who pounded a season-high 72 runs, before the bowlers ground the Hurricanes’ batting line-up in to the ground.

The victory was the Stars’ eighth from 12 matches, with just one loss and three no-results, in a season of dominance so far that has put them in the best position ever to go all the way, with two games to go.

Sutherland’s hitting helped the Stars reach 3/159 from their 20 overs, and the Hurricanes were never really in the hunt.

The loss makes Hobart’s task to make the finals nearly impossible.
