Australia Under-21s Women v New Zealand Emerging Players Women – New Zealand Emerging Players Women tour of Australia, 2012/13 – Match Update – Aus U-21s Women claim massive 184-run win
Centurion Beth Mooney and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Gemma-Louise-Triscari-c58742, who claimed a 5-wicket haul, played starring roles in the Australia Under-21s Women’s stellar 184-run victory over the New Zealand Emerging Players Women, in the 3rd game of their 4-match series, played
today on November 19 at the Blacktown Olympic Park No 2 Oval in Sydney.
With the host team having claimed a 6-wicket win in the first match, and with the second having been washed out due to rain, the third game offered the visitors a chance to level the series. However, the Australia Under-21s Women proved more than the New
Zealand Emerging Players Women could handle.
The hosts won the toss and chose to bat first, and despite the efforts of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Lea-Marie-Maureen-Tahuhu-c72373 (10-1-44-2), the team managed to post a solid total of 279 by the end of 50 overs.
Only four of the Australia Under-21s Women’s batters managed to contribute double-digit scores – however, a few weighty contributions proved enough to hold the rest of the team up. Tail-ender http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Renee-K-Chappell-c84671 (12*) did not manage to convert her start into
a solid score, but opener http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Beth-Mooney-c47894, who drove the team forward with her unbeaten 107.
With the exception of these few players, the Australia Under-21s Women’s batters fared poorly. Skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Grace-Harris-c60459 scored 5 each, and Megan Schutt
managed 6. However, Mooney, Villani, and Coyte took most of the responsibility upon themselves, and guided the team up to 279.
The home team then followed up with a ruthless bowling attack, led by Triscari (5-1-9-5), with Schutt (9.5-0-38-3) and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Holly-Ferling-c63291 (7-0-23-2) chipping in with additional contributions. Combined, the three bowlers razed the visitors’ batting order to the
ground. Only three batters from the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Anna-Michelle-Peterson-c44850 (10).
The remainder failed to put up a fight, and by the 26th over, the tourists were all out, with the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 Under-21s Women going on to claim an emphatic 184-run win.
