Adelaide have made a sensational record-breaking start to their WBBL title defence, dismissing the Melbourne Stars for just 29 on their way to a crushing 148-run win at Karen Rolton Oval.
Put in to bat, the Strikers smashed their way to 3-177, with openers Katie Mack (86 off 50 balls) and Laura Woolvardt (47 off 36) blasting 135 off 14.1 overs.
Melbourne, who won their opening game on Thursday, were dismissed in just 9.3 overs and 37 runs short of the tournament's previous lowest total.
No Star made double figures with Sophia Dunkley top-scoring with nine, and nine of the batters were dismissed for three or less.
Megan Schutt (3-3 off three overs), Amanda-Jade Wellington (3-4 off two) and Zimbabwe legspinner Anesu Mushangwe (2-12 off two) ripped through the batting line-up to leave the visitors reeling at 8-18 in the seventh over.
Captain Tahlia McGrath (2-2 off 1.3) picked up the last two wickets to complete the embarrassingly one-sided game.
The previous biggest winning margin was the Sydney Sixers' 103-run victory over the Hobart Hurricanes.
"We started unreal with the bat with Katie and Laura and then with the ball as well with Mushy (Mushangwe) and Shooter (Schutt), so very happy," McGrath told Fox Sports.
"A perfect start but it's a long tournament it's a really tough tournament, so we're going to have to be at our best for the next six weeks."
The Strikers' openers feasted on some poor bowling, notching at least one boundary in each of the first nine overs.
Mack took 11 off the first Kim Garth over, slashing a couple of boundaries backward of point and scored 49 of her team's first 55 runs.
She struck 10 fours in her first 50, consistently smashing back of a length deliveries to the legside boundary.
Left-arm finger spinner Sophie Day (3-24 off four) temporarily dragged her team back into the match.
She had Woolvardt caught at long on and three balls later Mack was stumped by Nicole Faltum.
Day also had Bridget Patterson caught, but McGrath (34 not out off 19) produced some powerful hitting in the closing overs.
Melbourne's reply was catastrophic with the visitors playing a series of loose shots and providing the Strikers with catching practice.
Captain Meg Lanning fell to Schutt in the second over for one, and Mushangwe removed England stars Dunkley and Alice Capsey in the third and the innings never recovered.
