Toss – Won by Melbourne Stars Women and elected to bowl first

1st Innings Summary – Sophie Devine (46), Tegan McPharlin (41)* and Megan Schutt (16)* were the only three valuable contributions to the modest total of Adelaide Strikers. The batting collapse of the team included two run-outs and a very slow run-rate. Melbourne Stars’ skipper Erin Osborne seemed to be unplayable and Annabel Sutherland and Alana King also bowled quite economically. Although the bowlers gave away 15 extra runs to the opponents, Adelaide Strikers could not do much with the bat.

2nd Innings Summary – Opener Lizelle Lee played an explosive innings of 33 runs in 19 balls including three 4s and two 6s. Proving her decision right, Erin Osborne led her team from the front and added another half-century in her kitty and remained unbeaten till the target was achieved. Although Megan Schutt bowled beautifully but little did she got any support from the other end to defend a small total.

Player of the matchErin Osborne as it was completely her day today. Having remarkable bowling figures (4-0-16-2) and 54-run innings off just 45 balls including four 4s and one 6.
