Over 20. 11 runs. Bowler: Deepti Sharma. Sydney Thunder Women: 112/6(rr 5.60)
19.4Sharma to H Darlington4
Four runs. FOUR! Deepti Sharma to Hannah Darlington. Length ball, driving, Hit Hard in the air under control past long on for 4 runs. The Sydney Thunder calmly execute a nervy run chase with 2 balls to spare. After electing to bowl first at the toss, the Thunder's bowlers justified that decision by cleaning up the Stars' top order. After 9 overs, the visitors were 6/50 and looked all at sea on a seaming pitch. Hannah Darlington was the pick of the lot, dismissing both Lanning and Kapp on her way to figures of 3/26. After calming the early thunderstorm, Sharma (16), McKeon (13), and Garth (20) battled hard to get their side to a total of 108, including 22 runs from the last 2 overs. The Thunder's chase got off to a rocky start, falling to 4/37 in the 8th over. But the calm heads of Tahlia Wilson (33) and Anika Learoyd (31 not out) combined for a 49-run partnership to take the game deep with wickets in hand. Darlington hit Deepti Sharma to the boundary over mid on to seal the win and a Player of the Match performance for herself. You won't want to miss the Thunder's next game against the Renegades, as that could decide who finishes top of the table and progresses straight to the Final. That's all from Drummoyne Oval tonight, thanks for following along.
