Deandra Dottin shone with bat and ball as Adelaide Strikers beat Sydney Sixers by 10 runs to win their first Women’s Big Bash League title.
She then bowled a double wicket maiden in her first over to help reduce the Sixers to 16-4 at North Sydney Oval.
Darcie Brown claimed 2-15, including Sixers captain Ellyse Perry for 33, as the Sixers were bowled out for 137.
Dottin, who finished with 2-30 and was named player of the match, said: “It means a lot to me.”
Adelaide Strikers, who beat Brisbane Heat in the Challenger on Friday to reach to final, were runners-up twice in the past three seasons.
Strikers captain Tahlia McGrath said: “Last year hurt, and we fell short at the final hurdle. That drove us this season.
“I’m so proud of this team – what a team. This one is going to be special.”
