Nicola Hancock played a crucial role for the Heat, delivering a clinical performance with figures of 3-23.<\/p>\n<p>However, the Heat&#8217;s efforts were in vain during the run chase, as they could only compile 122-8. The standout performers for the Strikers were Amanda-Jade Wellington, awarded the player of the match, who claimed 3-16, and Megan Schutt, who secured 2-30.<br \/>The game reached its climax on the last ball, adding to the intensity of the contest that ultimately saw the Adelaide Strikers emerge victorious in a nail-biting finish.<br \/>&#8220;This is such a special team, seriously, everyone knows their roles,&#8221; said skipper McGrath. &#8220;We have so much fun and we keep showing up. I&#8217;m so proud of this group.&#8221;<br \/>It was the Strikers&#8217; second consecutive title in the tournament&#8217;s ninth season, having beaten the Sydney Sixers in last year&#8217;s decider.<br \/>The Strikers had a mixed start to the season but have been a near unstoppable force since, winning 10 their past 11 games. Their only loss during that run was against the Heat.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A bit emotional to be honest. A few tears out there,&#8221; said Schutt.<br \/>&#8220;We set out a bold goal last year to go back-to-back and to achieve it is amazing.&#8221;<br \/>Jonassen acknowledged the Strikers had been &#8220;the benchmark of the competition all year&#8221;.<br \/>&#8220;To our girls, commiserations. I&#8217;m super proud of you all, we&#8217;ve worked very hard just to get to this moment,&#8221; she said. &#8220;Keep your heads up, I know it hurts, but we&#8217;ll be back bigger and better and stronger next year.&#8221;<br \/>The 13th season of the men&#8217;s Big Bash League starts on December 7.<br \/><span class=\"strong em \">(With AFP Inputs)<\/span><\/div>\n<p><script>!(function(f, b,
