Hampshire, Blaze, and Somerset registered comprehensive victories earlier in the day.
Warwickshire, led by skipper Katie George, won the toss and opted to bat first. The openers Davina Perrin and Meg Austin got their side off to a steady start with a 27-run opening stand. An unfortunate run out ended Davina Perrin’s (15 off 26 balls) stay at the crease to provide the first breakthrough for Yorkshire in the 9th over of the innings.
Skipper Katie George joined Meg Austin at the crease, and the duo stitched another crucial 60-run stand for the 2nd wicket, which took them closer to the 100-run mark. Claudie Cooper got the big scalp of the opposition skipper Katie George (27 off 51 balls) back to the pavilion in the 25th over of the innings to provide the 2nd breakthrough for her side.
Brooke Halliday (37 off 49 balls) joined opening batter Meg Austin at the crease and the duo stitched a massive 84-run stand for the 3rd wicket, which took them past the 170-run mark. Jessica Woolston dismissed a well-set Meg Austin (94 off 114 balls) in the 38th over to provide the 3rd breakthrough for Yorkshire. Warwickshire eventually posted a total of 269/9 in their quota of 50 overs. Em Arlott (44 off 19 balls) provided the finishing touches to the innings. Claudie Cooper (10-0-55-4), Sarah Glenn (10-0-69-2), Jess Jonassen (10-0-48-1) and Jessica Woolston (10-0-53-1) were the top performers with the ball for Yorkshire.
The rains arrived, and the run chase was reduced to 46 overs per side, and the target was revised to 260 runs. Ami Campbell joined Sterre Kalis at the crease when Yorkshire were in deep trouble at 51/4 in the 15th over of the run chase. A much-needed 46-run stand for the 5th wicket took them closer to the 100-run mark. Phoebe Brett broke the stand by sending Ami Campbell (35 off 20 balls) back to the pavilion in the 21st over of the innings to provide the 5th breakthrough for Warwickshire.
Sarah Glenn (30 off 38 balls) joined Sterre Kalis at the crease, and the duo took their side closer to the 150-run mark with a crucial 47-run stand for the 6th wicket. Em Arlott broke the stand by sending Sterre Kalis (52 off 71 balls) back to the pavilion in the 30th over of the innings to provide the 6th breakthrough for her side. She completed a brilliant half-century before getting dismissed.
Yorkshire were eventually bundled out for 202 in the 41st over of the innings, falling 57 runs short of the target.
