Sydney Sixers are on the brink of missing the WBBL finals yet again after rain dashed their hopes of toppling the ladder-leading Thunder at Drummoyne Oval

ScorecardThunder struck: Rain, lightning ruin Sydney Smash
Sydney Thunder have kept their hold on top spot on the Weber WBBL|10 table after being saved by the rain and storms against cross-city rivals the Sixers.
Only Georgia Voll exceeded 20 as the Thunder were all out for 121, with Amelia Kerr spinning through the ladder leaders with 3-16 from her four overs.
The Sixers were then 1-9 after two overs when the rain hit, needing to be 1-27 after five overs to take victory.
That leaves the Sixers needing something of a miracle to reach the finals, with Alyssa Healy to also miss the last two games with a knee injury.
They play both of those final two games on the road, against the in-form Hurricanes in Hobart on Thursday before travelling to Brisbane to meet the Heat.
