Melbourne Renegades 137 for 1 (Matthews 60*, Molineux 42*) beat Sydney Thunder 133 (Molineux 4-23) by nine wickets
Melbourne Renegades crushed the Sydney Thunder by nine wickets to take top spot on the WBBL ladder.
Renegades moved to 14 points, taking top spot from the Thunder (13 points). Brisbane Heat (12 points) will need a big win over Sydney Sixers on Sunday in the last match of the regular season to jump ahead of Renegades and host the grand final.
Perth Scorchers (nine points) hold fourth spot ahead of their last game on Saturday night against the fifth-placed Hobart Hurricanes which will likely decide fourth place entering the finals – unless the Sixers (sixth, eight points) can upset Heat.
Openers Georgia Voll, Chamari Athapaththu and Georgia Adams all made 11, as Thunder slipped from 95 for 3 in 12th over and lost their last seven wickets for 38 runs.
Molineux was superb with her four-wicket haul accompanied by a dozen dot balls in her four overs.
