PLAYER OF THE MATCH, Sophia Dunkley, says that when they lost a few wickets at the start, there was some pressure. Says that the pressure helped them to run hard between the wickets. Adds that she is happy to win the game for the team.
More than the bowling it was the fielding that cost Northern Superchargers Women. Their bowlers did decently but there were far too many dropped catches and misfields. also, the batting earlier in the day was not that great. They actually had a score quite under par, their bowlers did do well earlier on by getting them back into the game but Dunkley along with Maia took it away.
What a comfortable win in the end for the girls in green! They were in trouble at 5 for 2 and then 26 for 3 but Sophia Dunkley along with Maia Bouchier has taken her side over the line and quite comfortably in the end. Not to forget, Dunkley was dropped twice and she made them pay for the chances she was given. A fifty for her and Maia Bouchier also played superbly. A really good chase.

DRINKS! Southern Brave Women are bossing the game at the moment! They need less than a run-a-ball and with Dunkley out there, it should be easy for them. Is there a surprise in store or is it going to be an easy win for the batting side?
