Ellyse Perry was run out for 30 after a mix-up while attempting a second run against the Melbourne Renegades.

The Sydney Sixers registered an 11-run victory to maintain their unbeaten run in WBBL|12.

Sydney Sixers batter Ellyse Perry suffered an unfortunate run out during the 20th match of the Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL) 2026 against the Melbourne Renegades at Junction Oval on Thursday, November 12. The experienced Australian batter was involved in a crucial partnership with Amelia Kerr before a costly mix-up brought her innings to an end in the 18th over.

Perry’s dismissal came at a time when the Sixers were looking to accelerate towards the end of their innings. She had contributed 30 off 41 deliveries, while Kerr continued to anchor the innings at the other end. The run out ended their 56-run partnership and gave the Renegades an important breakthrough during the death overs.

The incident occurred on the fifth delivery of the 18th over when Sophie Molineux bowled to Kerr. The New Zealand all-rounder managed to complete a single before the batters attempted to turn it into a second run. However, Perry failed to make it back to the striker’s end in time as Georgia Wareham collected the ball and helped complete the run out.

Perry had to walk back after scoring 30 off 41 balls, including two boundaries. Her dismissal left the Sixers at 124/3 with 13 deliveries remaining in their innings. The wicket also ended a valuable 56-run stand between Perry and Kerr, who had helped their side recover after being reduced to 68/2.
