Batting didn’t click again for the Focal Hinds as they lost to Canterbury Entertainers in their last game by 8 wickets to experience the second continuous misfortune in this opposition. Batting first, Jess Watkin drove side figured out how to score just 88 runs and it was excessively simple for the resistance to finish things. Bowling hasn’t been the issue as they pushed the game till the sixteenth over which should be valued. A ton has been normal from their large names Mikaela Greig, Natalie Dodd, and Hannah Rowe.
Northern Brave failed to chase for the 2nd consecutive time in this tournament as a result lost to Otago by 20 runs. Earlier they lost to Canterbury by 14 runs. It’s an eye-opener for them and they need to take their batting seriously. Even the bowlers were wayward in the last game against Otago as they allowed Suzie Bates to score an unbeaten century. It’s a big loss as Caitlin Gurrey misses out due to an injury.
