Capsey out for duck after taking 5-25 in Renegades loss

Alice Capsey took her first five-wicket haul but was dismissed for a first-ball duck in Melbourne Renegades' low-scoring defeat by Perth Scorchers in the Women's Big Bash League.

This was Capsey’s latest failure in a run of poor returns with the bat, having only scored 27 runs in five innings in the WBBL so far, with a high-score of 14.

Capsey’s bad form with the bat began in October's T20 World Cup, where she made three single-figure scores, contributing to England’s group-stage exit from the tournament.

The 20-year-old took 5-25 in 3.5 overs, with three of those wickets coming in the final over, as Scorchers were bowled out for 108 in 19.5 overs.

Capsey, who is now the third-highest wicket-taker in the tournament, was then dismissed from the fourth ball of the Renegades chase by Chloe Ainsworth, after Courtney Webb was dismissed from the third.

Renegades were eventually bowled out for 106 from the final ball of their innings and they have now lost three of their five games. Scorchers have won three of their four matches.

Both teams face their next game on Saturday with Scorchers facing Hobart Hurricanes (23:10 GMT), while Renegades play Melbourne Stars (04:00 GMT).
