Sydney Sixers Women beat Melbourne Stars Women by 4 runs!
Suzie Bates 27 (19) | Sophie Day 5-25 Ellyse Perry 22 (15) | Chloe Tryon 3-2
This game seemed to be well-poised for an interesting finish, but unfortunately, the rain Gods have decided to have a say in it and mark it partially closed.
Melbourne Stars were perched at a precarious 44-3 in 5.4 overs while trying to chase the 135 runs that they were set by the Sydney Sixers Women.
However, it did not quite go according to plan for them as they lost their first three wickets in the powerplay itself. Openers Sophia Dunkley and Meg Lanning fell for ducks while Alice Capsey too could not make it count.
After the rain delay, however, the game resumed, and the Stars were asked to chase twelve runs in the eight balls remaining. The target was revised to 56 in seven overs. Unfortunately, the Stars succumbed to the pressure put upon them by the fielding side and threw their wickets away quite cheaply.
This loss will hurt the Stars very much as it comes on their home ground. They will want to recover quickly from it and get their campaign back on track.
Gardner takes the catch and the Sydney Sixers Women win an absolute stunner!

6.6 Chloe Tryon to Annabel Sutherland, THE CATCH IS TAKEN! SYDNEY SIXERS WOMEN WIN THE MATCH! Good length ball outside off. Sutherland goes for an almighty hoick across the line and gets a good piece of it. But, it does not go all the way. Instead, it lands into the safe hands of deep mid-wicket who knew where the boundary rope was! Chloe Tryon does the job for her team in the final over!
Annabel Sutherland c Ashleigh Gardner b Chloe Tryon 3 (7b, 0x4, 0x6)
6.5 Chloe Tryon to Kim Garth, good length ball around off-stump. Garth pushes on the up to cover for a single only. Stars Women need 5 runs off 1 ball now!
6.4 Chloe Tryon to Kim Garth, hat-trick ball, full and fired down the leg-side. Garth goes the sweep but manages only a tickle to the keeper on one bounce! No run.
Kim Garth, RHB, is the new batter.
And she goes first ball too!
6.3 Chloe Tryon to Nicole Faltum, ANOTHER ONE GOES! Good length ball around off-stump and slowed down. Faltum steps out to slap it over cover but ends up miscuing it. The ball then falls into the safe hands of Suzie Bates at mid-off who makes no mistake!
