At the crease, the England Women’s batters played spin with skill, with the Kiwi Women’s http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Lucy-Rose-Doolan-c73250 proving ineffective against the opposition. Edwards led from the front, top-scoring with 33, and the England Women reached 94 with 7

“It turned more here and it was tough, but we pride ourselves on playing spin and we did well to work the ball into the gaps,” Edwards observed.
Spinner Wyatt was also all-praises for the team’s performance, pointing out that the bowlers’ aggressive performance ensured the team had to chase a low total, which in turn put the batters at ease.
“We were all nervous, but they were good nerves. It was an excellent performance on a slow wicket which suited the spinners,” said Wyatt. “The bowlers performed really well and that enabled the batters to take their time.”
