Brisbane Heat pacer Lily Bassingthwaite delivered an impressive new-ball performance against Hobart Hurricanes in the Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL) 2026. She produced a moment of brilliance in the fourth over, sending Hurricanes captain Nicola Carey back to the pavilion with a superb delivery that crashed into the stumps.

Carey had walked in after Brisbane made early inroads into Hobart’s batting lineup. However, the right-arm pacer gave the batter little opportunity to settle at the crease, beating her defence with a full delivery and leaving the Hurricanes in serious trouble during the powerplay.

The dismissal took place on the first delivery of the fourth over, with Bassingthwaighte attacking the stumps against the left-handed Carey. The pacer bowled a full delivery that beat the batter’s defence and went on to disturb the timber, producing a clean bowled dismissal.

Carey managed just four runs off five deliveries without hitting a boundary before departing. The official WBBL highlights also described the delivery as a beauty, highlighting Bassingthwaighte’s excellent execution with the new ball.

Hobart Hurricanes struggle after early batting collapse

Brisbane Heat captain Georgia Redmayne won the toss at Bellerive Oval and elected to bowl first. Her decision paid off as the Heat’s bowling attack made regular breakthroughs, leaving Hobart reeling at 11/3 after the first 3.1 overs. Lizelle Lee scored three off six balls, while Rachel Trenaman managed just one run from eight deliveries before Carey’s dismissal. The Hurricanes failed to build partnerships even after losing their top order early.

Chinelle Henry fell for one, while Heather Graham contributed 13 and Maddy Green managed 11. Molly Strano and Hayley Silver-Holmes also failed to make significant contributions as Brisbane continued to dominate. Bassingthwaighte led the bowling effort with figures of 3/25 from 4 overs. Lucy Hamilton, Sianna Ginger and Sarah Glenn picked up two wickets each.
