That’s it from me. Thanks for hanging. What a game. If that’s anything to go by this white ball leg of the Women’s Ashes is going to be one to remember.
I’ll leave you with the report from Raf Nicholson who ends with this important reminder: “England go again in the next T20 at The Kia Oval on Wednesday, now needing to win all five of the remaining matches in the series if they are to regain the Ashes.”
Bye…
Finally, here’s the winning captain, Alyssa Healy:
It got tight. We pride ourselves on finding ways of winning games and we found a way there. England bowled pretty well at the back end with some change of pace. Great game of cricket all round and we’re pleased to be on the right end.
Thought it was about par. Winning totals here are high 160s so we thought we bowled well. We thought we let them back in at the end. The wicket looked good and if we played good smart cricket we’’d get the job done.
[Moony] reads the game so well. She knows when to go through the gears and she did that beautifully tonight. Unfortunately not too many of her partners helped her out.
I’m really proud of the girls. I think they did a great job. There are things we can improve on. I think we can be more clinical at the death. We were outstanding with the new ball. We let them back in with our fielding. But we did some amazing things.
The atmosphere here was amazing and hopefully it follows through to The Oval.
