act.
The http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-Zealand-c754 Emerging Players Women underwent a complete batting order collapse, with only two batters – wicketkeeper batsman Meg Kendal (20), and skipper Maddie Green (35) – managing to contribute double-digit individual scores. The rest remained insipid,
with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Morna-Jessie-Godwin-Nielsen-c77716, and Brooke Kirkbride were all dismissed on duck.
Unable to rise to the challenge posed by the Australia Under-21s Women’s bowling attack, the New Zealand Emerging Players Women succumbed within 34 overs, all out, at a dismal final score of 90.
The visiting team had a prime chance to make up for their shocking batting performance by putting forth a decent bowling display – however, only Morna Nielsen (9-2-27-3) managed to take advantage of the opportunity, while the remainder of the bowling attack
went wicketless.
Australia Under-21s Women, meanwhile, breezed through the chase, which they managed to complete successfully within 19 overs, at the expense of just 4 wickets. Openers http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Nicole-Elizabeth-Bolton-c79505 (24) set up a 29-run opening stand, which
came to an end with the dismissal of Villani, who was bowled by Nielsen. However, wicketkeeper batsman http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Beth-Mooney-c47894 (24*) kept the momentum going, and stuck it out at the crease until the end of the innings.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Lauren-Kaye-Ebsary-c72255 was run out by Broadmore after a 14-run contribution. However, Mooney remained firm at the crease, and got the team safely over the finishing line, enabling
them to reach 91 with 6 wickets and 191 balls still remaining.
