LAST weekend saw a double header of T20 matches for everyone across both the second and third eleven competitions. In part two of this wrap up, we take a look at how everyone went in their second match of the double header, and then look ahead to next weekend’s action

Box Hill                             

2nd XI

When a team loses its first wicket at 1/9 it’s a sign of what is to come for the rest of the innings. Batting first against Prahran, that is exactly what happened to the Mustangs as they went on to only make 4/121 off their 20 overs. Sunny Plant was the pick of the batters for the Mustangs with 47 not out.

In reply though, a stellar bowling performance saw their total ultimately be defendable. They bowled out Prahran for only 88 to take the win. Lani Dejong and Vaishnavi Munukutla were the stars with the ball, picking up three wickets apiece.

3rd XI    

Bowling first against Geelong, Box Hill ensured Geelong limped their way to 5/109 off their 20 overs.

As the Mustangs tried to chase down the target, a stellar bowling performance saw Geelong ultimately win the game after they restricted Box Hill to 5/74 off their 20 overs. Grace Newey was the leading wicket taker for the Mustangs with two.

Carlton

2nd XI

Carlton bowled first against EMP, and the Bombers were restricted 3/110 in their 20 overs. In reply, Carlton made the target with an over to spare. Grace Moyle top scored for Carlton with 41.

Dandenong

2nd XI

Dandenong batted first against Plenty Valley, and made 191 off their 20 overs. Erin Maxwell top scored with 73, while Jessica Caron made 56.

Geelong

2nd XI

Geelong batted first against Ringwood, and lost too many wickets in the middle part of their innings on the way to only scoring 86 off their 20 overs. In the end 86 was never going to be enough as Ringwood reached the target with one and a half overs to spare. Chantal Mason was the pick of Geelong’s bowlers with the very even figures of 2/2 off her two overs.  

3rd XI

Plenty Valley

2nd XI

Plenty Valley’s 3rd XI had the bye in game two last Sunday.

Prahran              

2nd XI

After restricting Box Hill to only 121 off their 20 overs, Prahran must have thought they were in serious contention to win the match.Not for long. a stellar bowling performance saw the total ultimately be a bridge too far.

Zoe Quinsey-Munro was an absolute star with the ball for the True Blues, taking four of her team’s six wickets.

Ringwood

2nd XI

Ringwood bowled first, and restricted Geelong to just 86 off their 20 overs. A score that low was always going to make things easier for the Rams as they reached the target with an over and a half to spare. Tegan Rule was once again an absolute star with the ball, taking thee wickets this time. Debra Loughnan took two wickets.

3rd XI    

Ringwood batted first against Prahran, and after a good start limped their way to 6/121 off their 20 overs.
