... TIME FOR THE PRESENTATIONS ...
Eleanor Larosa is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH for her spectacular bowling figures. She says that the aim was simple to target the stumps. Adds that as a pace bowler, she has worked on the pace offs and other variations. Mentions that the team had things under control and all the players did their job well.
In response to that, the Australia Women Under-19 chased down the total with ease despite being 1 down after the first 2 balls of the innings. The pair of Lucy Hamilton and Kate Pelle did well in the middle to stitch up a partnership and then the game was finished well by Caoimhe Bray and Ella Briscoe, getting their team to a win in just 10.5 overs with 7 wickets in hand.
West Indies Women Under-19 were asked to bat first and it was a disappointing performance by the batters. They kept losing wickets at regular intervals and Australia Women Under-19 kept capitalising. Only two batters could cross the double digits and it was just a procession for the rest. Eleanor Larosa picked 2 wickets for just 6 runs in her 4 overs and with support from the other bowlers, Australia women managed to bowl out West Indies Women Under-19 for a mere 53 runs on the board.
Australia Women Under-19 have won a comprehensive game by 7 wickets with 9.1 overs still remaining in the innings. Brilliant team performance from the Australians to get to their 4th win in the tournament, standing tall at the top of the table.
