Heather Knight’s Sydney Thunder are out of the Women’s Big Bash League after a 44-run defeat by Brisbane Heat in the Eliminator match at the WACA in Perth.

Heat’s Amelia Kerr hit 48 to help set Thunder a target of 170.

England captain Knight made 25 in response but Thunder could only reach 125-9 off their 20 overs.

Brisbane will face Perth Scorchers in Wednesday’s Challenger, with the winner playing Adelaide Strikers in Saturday’s final at the Adelaide Oval.

“Always nice to win these games and give yourself a chance of going through and winning the trophy,” said Heat all-rounder Kerr.
