at the Blacktown Olympic Park Oval in Sydney.
Australian Capital Territory Women won the toss and chose to field first – however, despite the efforts of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sian-Elizabeth-Ansley-Ruck-c90176 (4-0-29-2), the NSW Women managed to post a competitive total of 166 by the end of 20 overs, at the expense of
just 4 wickets.
Openers http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Leah-Joy-Poulton-c72374 (29) both contributed solid individual scores, in addition to setting up a steady 81-run stand. Moylan got her team the first breakthrough, with the dismissal of Poulton, and followed it up soon after with Player
of the Match Healy’s wicket, leaving the team at 98 for 2.
However, skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Lisa-Carprini-Sthalekar-c73004 (12). The two batters got the team total up to 127, after which Ruck
intervened to send Sthalekar back to the pavilion.

final total of 166 by the end of 20 overs.

Carey (1-0-12-1).
