Ellyse Perry leads Sixers to WBBL romp over Heat

Ellyse Perry's incredible rich vein of form has continued, firing the Sydney Sixers to an 11-run WBBL win over the Brisbane Heat with an unbeaten century.

Perry has notched her second century from six matches with a 64-ball 103 not out for the Sixers to to reach 3-166.

The superstar allrounder has hit 419 runs during WBBL04 for an average of 209.5, having also hit three half-centuries, two of them unbeaten.

At one point, it looked like the Sixers' skipper would run out of time to notch her ton on Saturday at the SCG, sitting on 93 with two balls remaining.

She launched Jess Jonassen over the boundary rope before sweeping her fine with the final ball.

Ominously for other teams, she said she was far from content with her form.

"I'm only satisfied if we win the competition," Perry said.

"That's everyone's modus operandi in the team but that would be every team in the competition.

"We're not even halfway through – it's easy to count chickens too early."

After losing Alyssa Healy (2) in the third over, the reigning champions were in early trouble at 1-8 before Perry took the game out of the Heat's hands.

She struck 10 fours and five sixes as the Sixers moved alongside the Sydney Thunder atop the competition ladder on 10 points – they sit second on net run rate.

The Heat never really threatened during the run chase with Jonassen top-scoring with 33 before they were restricted to 7-155.

Dane van Niekerk and Erin Burns each claimed two wickets for the Sixers.
