Sydney Thunder Women vs Sydney Sixers Women
Sydney Sixers Women won by 18 runs
Despite promises of a smash hit, the outcome was somewhat predictable. Her efforts along with those of her friends Ellyse Perry and Nicole Bolton resulted in the 76ers being able to pull from a delicate powerplay to a solid 178/6 as a result of Gardner's efforts along with those of her friends. There were times when it was positively ridiculous and pure sleaze.
Beaumont and Litchfield played with total freedom and, more importantly, with complete timing, which got Thunder off to a borderline insane start during the first half. 79/0 on a cool North Sydney evening gave skipper Perry the sweats. In the end, it was Ecclestone who triumphed with a proper darter, sliding beneath that high back-lift, to take out the dangerous Beaumont. As a result, there was a steady decline from then on. Using a combination of off-pace and into-the-pitch bowling, Kate Peterson sealed the Thunder's fate. As a result, skipper Haynes found it to be a bit too much as the table-toppers demonstrated why they are ranked so highly.
Sydney Sixers Women - Sophie Ecclestone, Ellyse Perry, Alyssa Healy, Suzie Bates, Kate Peterson, Erin Burns, Angelina Genford, Ashleigh Gardner, Jade Allen, Nicole Bolton, Maitlan Brown, Lauren Cheatle, Stella Campbell.
