Didn't know Aliya Riaz could bowl. Reasonably accurate seam-up stuff but not enough swing to pick up many wickets.

Spirit really messing up what should have been an easy chase. It's made for a really tight game though.

11 needed in the last over. Should be Mahroof on strike. She kind of just played herself in for most of the game but has really played some great shots in the death.

That's the best I've seen Mahroof play. She played some proper cricketing shots with sublime placement under pressure. Great knock! Wish she plays this way more often.

Why didn't Carey bowl herself? Is she injured or something?

That's interesting, wasn't aware of any issues there.

Speaking of Carey, I was a bit confused by her decision to decline a Cricket Australia contract.

Aussies add four to contract list, Carey turns down deal

Rising star Phoebe Litchfield is among four additions to CA's women's national contract list, while Nicola Carey declined the offer of a national deal
www.cricket.com.au www.cricket.com.au

"Nicola Carey expressed a desire to spend the winter in Tasmania to allow her to utilise a full preseason at home, focusing on using that time to develop skills in her game to push for international selection in the future.

"We offered Nic a contract because we believe she is a player of international quality, but we respect her decision to focus on a pre-season program with Tasmania and will continue to support her moving forward."

Not sure why she couldn't do that with a contract?

Yeah, that's a weird one. I feel the underlying tone there is she isn't happy about not playing much even though she technically makes the squad. I could be completely off base though.
