Bowlers-led Warriors breeze past Spirit to seal final berth

KOWLOON: Warriors Women’s bowlers wreaked havoc over the Spirit Women’s batting lineup before Kathryn Bryce’s vital 26-run knock muscled the side into the final of the FairBreak Invitational 2023. 

Put into bat first, Spirit’s batting lineup stuttered and bundled out for a paltry total of 73 in the 18th over.

Opening batter Sophia Dunkley and Natthakan Chantham offered brief fightback with their respective knocks while the rest of the batters seemed clueless against the lethal Warriors’ bowling attack.

Chantham top-scored for the Spirit with a valiant knock of 26 runs off 34 deliveries, while Dunkley could score a run-a-ball 16.

Besides them, no Spirit batter could amass the double figures.

Jess Kerr led the bowling charge for the Warriors with 3/11 while Bryce and Amanda-Jade Wellington bagged two wickets each.

Set to chase a modest total, Spirit’s bowlers made sure not to let the Warriors run away with a comfortable victory.

The warriors’ bowlers kept things tight for the Spirit in the run chase and kept getting breakthroughs at a consistent rate but Bryce’s vital 26-run knock eventually proved enough to seal the deal for Sindhu Sriharsha’s side.

Dunkley led the bowling attack for the Spirit with 3/16 while Mahika Gaur returned with 2/14.

For her all-round brilliance, Bryce was named the player of the match.

Bismah’s 66* goes in vain as Warriors edge Spirit in low-scoring thriller

KOWLOON: Bismah Maroof’s fighting 66-run knock went in vain as Warriors Women edged Spirit Women by three runs in the low-scoring thriller in the ongoing FairBreak Invitational.

Set to chase a modest 119, the Spirit could only accumulate 115/8 in their set of 20 overs despite Bismah’s 66 not out.

The Spirit were off to a poor start to the run chase as the side lost two wickets for just 11 runs as both openers Sophia Dunkley (8) and Sarah Bryce (0) perished cheaply.

Coming out to bat at number four with her side in heaps of trouble, Bismah soaked the pressure and looked to stitch an anchoring partnership with Natthakan Chantham.

Chantham, however, could not hang for long and fell in the seventh over after managing to score 18 off 19.

Her dismissal sparked a match-defining collapse and the Spirit batting line-up crumbled.

Meanwhile, Bismah held her ground firm and kept the scoreboard ticking singlehandedly until the end of the innings but no support from the other end, resulted in her efforts going in vain.

Bismah remained the top scorer for the Spirit with an unbeaten 60-ball 66, laced with five boundaries and a six.

Besides Bismah and Chantham, no Spirit batter could enter the double figures.

Amanda-Jade Wellington led the bowling attack for the Warriors with 3/27, followed by Shamilia Connell’s 2/16 while Kathryn Bryce and Esha Oza could pick up a wicket.

Put into bat first, the Warriors also struggled with the bat and could only pile 118 runs before bundling out in the 18th over.

The Warriors also had a dismal start to their innings – losing the first wicket for just one run – but soon recovered, courtesy of a gritty second-wicket partnership between Mignon du Preez and Ellie Johnston.

The pair had settled things down as they took the Warriors to 58/1 in seven overs before Betty Chan found the breakthrough for the Spirit by dismissing du Preez, who scored 23-ball 27.

The Warriors then ran into a collapse following du Preez’s dismissal with their mainstay Johnston also falling victim and could not recover. They lost wickets at an alarming rate and soon bundled out for a meagre total.

Johnston remained the top-scorer for the Warriors with a brisk 24-ball 40, laced with two boundaries and three sixes.
