taking the only wickets in her first and last spell.
We started well with 50 up in the seventh over. Divya provided a quick came innings with 18

of the game. In that time she hit her
first six, passed her previous PB (44), scored her first 50 and controlled the
scoring securing most of the 15 runs needed off the last over.
Amelia Knight gave us a perfect platform to launch with good
running. Salamoe (playing her first game for the season) scored a single off
the 3rd last ball to get Brandi back on strike for the last two
balls.
