Dayna Dominates


 
We continued our win/loss pattern in T20 cricket with a convincing win over Sturt.

We now sit in second spot with one game until the Christmas break.

The game was set up by captain Dayna Cox who completed a PB of 62 no off 50 balls.

She set the tone for the innings with a four off her second ball and proceeded to hit nine fours and one straight hit six in the last over off the innings. 

She came in at a precarious 2/9 in the 3rd over and shared a 53 run partnership with Tahlia McGrath (33) and an unbroken partnership of 62 with Kylie Rattray (23no.)

The innings was highlighted by taking 31 off the last two overs (off Australian rep Megan Schutt and former state player Sarah Carver).   This took us from 3/99 to an above par 3/130 (6.5 per over)

Tahlia McGrath affected a run out in the first over, Donna Clark followed up with a wicket in the 5th over (2/21) and Cara Allen took the key wicket of Australian player Megan Schutt (3/31). This gave us the advantage.

Kylie had two stumpings and a catch and Brandi bowled well in her second spell. Tahlia McGrath bowled four tight overs and Dayna Cox chimed in with two overs to place the pressure back on the Sturt batters.
They finished 48 runs short.
 

 

Well done to our C grade girls – Nikki Moyle and Serena Ongley were joined by newcomer Chelsea Kennedy.  They combined with the Northern girls to beat the Port / Sturt side.  Nikki kept well and Caitlin took her first wicket.

Remember Tuesday night for the men’s A grade T 20 game at Bice.
