Australian Women v South African Women Jan 27-Feb 18 2024, 3 T20s, 3 ODIS and 1 Test

[NYRB]

Hodgey reckons its a belter.

 

[NYRB]

And im going to deck down stairs to get a bit of seafood and rice to settle myself down for a big day of cricket.

 

[NYRB]

And Healy burns a review early here.

That should have been a wide.

 

[NYRB]

Ground looks pretty lightning quick today at Hobart. That zoomed out of the blocks after Kapps bat

 

[NYRB]

Make it back to back boundaries for Kapp off Brown.

 

[NYRB]

3 boundaries in a row from Kapp off D Brown.

 

[NYRB]

This is Kapps 100th T20 Game today so id imagine there would be a bit of fire in the belly .

 

[NYRB]

Schutt gets her WBBL teammate , she has to depart for 15 off 13 balls in Hobart.

 

[NYRB]

South Africa are 3 down inside the Powerplay in the decider.

 

[010203]

Grace Harris has been excellent in the field but that was mindless from Sune Luus.

 

[NYRB]

South Africa 36/3 could have easily been 4 down had Brown held onto that in the powerplay.

 

[NYRB]

D Brown been a bit expensive 27 runs off 2 overs

 

[NYRB]

Kapp brings up her 50 off 34 balls

 

[NYRB]

First 6 of the game from Kapp

 

[NYRB]

South Africa look like a team that have come out here with a mission.

 

[NYRB]

McGrath gets Kapp

 

[NYRB]

A biggie from Tyron for 6!

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Brown having an absolute mare.

The ladies have been well below their best.

 

[NYRB]

South Africa 140/6 off 107 balls in Game 3. Tyron gone now.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Keep bowling full and straight with fine leg up. Great tactics Gardner.

 

[NYRB]

South Africa finish with 163/7 off their 20 overs

And thats a pretty decent target.

 

[NYRB]

This might be a tad ironic but in the last 20 WBBL games at Blundstone, the 2nd highest score batting 1st here is 164 runs.

So thats why I reckon this wont be a walkover as Hodge is suggesting.

 

[NYRB]

Former Scorcher v Current Scorcher

Kapp v Mooney

 

[NYRB]

I sense with Marizanne Kapp she loves the big occasion doesnt she?

The bigger the occassion, the better she tends to play.

 

[NYRB]

Healy is the big wicket here. you sense if South Africa dont get her out inside this powerplay, this game could be gone.
