Watch Heat vs Renegades, WBBL 2024 title clash live on TV and digital platforms.
Fittingly the final will see the two best teams in the regular season go head to head for the title
Both Renegades and Head finished with 14 points each, but the former took the top spot in the standings on net run rate (0.527 to 0.384), and thus earned a direct final spot.
The Heat produced a clinical performance to beat Knockout winners Sydney Thunder in the Challenger and stormed into a second consecutive final.
It was a win marred by injury to star India batter Jemimah Rodrigues, who made 43 off 30 balls before retiring hurt.
Despite the worries, the two-time champions will look to break the four-way tie for the most successful team in the tournament's history.
For the Renegades, this is their first WBBL final.
