Sydney Thunder held its nerve to win a nail-biting competition at Hurstville Oval in Sydney in less than 24 hours after enduring an agonizing 2-run loss. The Thunder, inserted in the bat, lost two early wickets. Tammy Beaumont and Heather Knight’s English pair steadied the ship and slowly raised the scoring pace, but when the former was out, the partnership was broken. The England captain remained unperturbed, despite losing partners at the other end, and ensured that her team posted a respectable total with an unbeaten half-century on the board-a knock comprising five boundaries.
