Why are these games not on every channel on TV!? This is all from the FairBreak International Tournament right? Wish I could watch this.

The first game looks like it was a fairly high scoring one in comparison with the others.

Nicola Carey is quality. Really seems to enjoy her cricket too.

 

[cnerd123]

What a turn around this has been for Spirit! From 15/3 in the powerplay to 156/4 to reducing Sapphires to 24/4 inside 4 overs!!

 

[cnerd123]

what a shot by Kary Chan! Hope she goes big with the bat tonight.

 

[cnerd123]

Sophie Ecclestone is so good. With the bat too, she's been killing it as a finisher. Great to see Yasmin have a good tourney behind the sticks as well. But the highlight of this game has to be Natthakan 'Jeans' Chantham's innings. Superb knock.

Warriors have had a rough tournament, they're out of the running for the Semi Finals. Spirit are looking like a team in form - dominating win and Nicola Carey didn't even need to bowl! 3 wins in 4 game, they're set to make it to the next round. Rest of the table still pretty even - three teams on 2 wins each, and Sapphires with just the 1 win over the Warriors. They play Barmy Arm next, a win for them will keep things very interesting.

Dottin tearing into Shabnim here. Quality cricket.

 

[cnerd123]

Kary conceding just 3 runs in the powerplay vs Knight and Wolvaardt. She's been so good this tournament.

Great game shaping up here between the Sapphires and the Falcons. Must win for the Sapphires, and Ismail has just pegged back Wyatt's middle stump with a beauty.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Ismail is rapid!

 

[cnerd123]

5 stumpings for Babette de Leede, first time ever for a women's T20!

Great spell from Sana Mir, winding back the clock. Great tournament, very competitive.

 

[cnerd123]

Also on a side note how crazy is Australia's depth. Georgia Redmayne, Grace Harris and Nicola Carey have been tearing it up and aren't even regular first teamers. Nuts.

 

[cnerd123]

Do or die game for the Tornadoes tonight vs Falcons. If they can take 3 points from it they're into the Semi Finals, otherwise Sapphires make it through. Just getting the Bonus Point wouldn't be enough for them as their NRR is far behind.

Dead rubber between Barmy Army and Warriors tho, Warriors just playing for pride.

 

[cnerd123]

Just 139 need to win for the Tornadoes, which would get them into the semi finals! Sophie Devine using 8 bowlers in that innings lol.

 

[cnerd123]

Opening bowlers for Falcons tonight are from Sweden and Bhutan. Bowling to opening batters from Netherlands and New Zealand. Fantastic.

Both bowlers bowling tricky left arm slow/medium in duckers, so an interesting challenge for Kalis and Devine.

 

[cnerd123]

Tornadoes killing this, they're into the semi finals.

 

[cnerd123]

Neither Iqra or Ruchi got to bowl for Barmy Army in what is essentially a dead rubber. Boooo. Ruchi had a bit of the yips in her first game but definitely good enough to be bowling here while Iqra did decently when she got to bowl.

Good innings by du Preez and Matthews, I think Warriors might be able to defend this and get their first win.

 

[cnerd123]

Rooting for the Falcons in the first semi-final today. Spirit didn't pick any HKers!

 

[cnerd123]

Athapaththu too good

 

[_Ed_]

Big start by these two openers.

 

[cnerd123]

both of whom are dropped in Chaya Mughal's over lol. Not a good start by Spirit.
