The Beth Mooney and Sophie Devine show rolls on as the pair put together their third century stand of the WBBL season to help Perth Scorchers hold off Adelaide Strikers at Karen Rolton Oval in Adelaide.

Mooney continued her outstanding run of form, making her third consecutive half-century, while Devine made 61 and took 2 for 30, as Strikers fell 12 runs short despite Katie Mack's 84 not out, her third unbeaten half-century in four games.

Mooney and Devine set the game up for Scorchers, sharing a 137-run stand of 16.3 overs. It was their sixth century stand in the last two seasons. Devine was a little slower than usual, striking at just 117 with seven fours and one six before she holed out to cover off Megan Schutt. Mooney was her usual fluent self, scoring 10 boundaries in her 78 from 53 balls. She fell with just 10 balls left in the innings. Heather Graham was promoted to No.3 with Chamari Athapaththu absent for the remainder of the tournament due to international duty. Graham struck two sixes in her 22 from 11 balls to help lift Scorchers to 3 for 177.

Strikers were on track in reply despite the early loss of Dane van Niekerk, falling to Marizanne Kapp. Mack and Laura Wolvaardt shared a 90-run stand before Devine made the key breakthrough in the 13th over with Wolvaardt caught brilliantly in the deep by Mathilda Carmichael for 40. It left Strikers needing 79 from 45 balls with eight wickets in hand, but the middle order was unable to support Mack, who was left not out on 84 from 61 balls. Graham and Devine picked up two wickets each.
