Australian Capital Territory Women vs Melbourne Stars Women Chance Winning

Melbourne Stars Women and Australian Capital Territory Women will be up against each other in this newly introduced tournament called T20 Spring Challenge. ACT Women have played one game in the competition and clinched a victory while Melbourne Stars Women will kick off their campaign with this match.

ACT Women, led by Carly Leeson, defeated Sydney Sixers by 13 runs in their opening game of the tournament on Friday. Batting first, they raced to 68-1 inside seven overs before losing a couple of quick wickets. The skipper Leeson (27 off 25) and Annie Wikman (37 off 26) then added 64 runs for the fourth wicket. Angelina Genford smashed 27 in 17 down the order to power the team to 172.

Defending the total, Grace Dignam picked 2 for 35 while Zoe Cooke and Genford snared one wicket each, although all of them were quite expensive. Chelsea Moscript’s spell, where she conceded just 21 runs in four overs, turned out to be crucial.
