Commentary

Thanks a lot for joining me, Mohul Bhowmick, on this sunny day in Melbourne. There is a lot of cricket coming your way, especially the Men's World Cup, where New Zealand take on Pakistan in Bengaluru and England play Australia in Ahmedabad. Another WBBL game, between the Hobart Hurricanes Women and Brisbane Heat Women, will start at 1 pm IST. Stay tuned to Sportskeeda for a fun-filled Saturday. Until next time, salaam!

Sydney Thunder Women beat Melbourne Stars Women by 9 wickets!

Chamari Atapattu 69 (40) | Hannah Darlington 2-13
Tahlia Wilson 45* (33) | Sophia Dunkley 1-8

Chamari Atapattu and Tahlia Wilson ensured that the Stars did not even have a sniff of this game in the second innings. Putting up such a modest total against the Thunder spelt danger in the first place for the Stars, but their bowlers did not quite live up to the expectations or put the Thunder under any sort of pressure whatsoever.

Atapattu and Wilson put up a dangerous partnership that virtually took the game away from the Stars. The Lankan opener was on fire throughout the game and made sure that she punished all the looseners that came her way. In fact, she converted some good deliveries and hit them for boundaries too.

Wicketkeeper-opener Wilson, only 24, was brilliant with the bat in hand too. Her ability to time the ball well and find the gaps at the right moments come in very handy for the Thunder. However, it was young Phoebe Litchfield, one of the best batters in WT20s at the moment, to seal the deal for her side with a six. She came to bat at Atapattu's dismissal.

12.6 Kim Garth to Phoebe Litchfield, SIX! SYDNEY THUNDER WIN THIS GAME! Short of a length down the legside. Litchfield stands tall, swivels in the crease and pulls it away over deep square leg for a massive hit to seal the deal for her side!

12.5 Kim Garth to Phoebe Litchfield, at a length on off and middle, angles away. Litchfield stands tall and defends it well.

12.4 Kim Garth to Tahlia Wilson, fullish on middle and leg yet again. Wilson glances it down to deep midwicket for a run.

12.3 Kim Garth to Tahlia Wilson, at a length on middle and leg, comes back in a tad. Wilson whips it away towards deep square leg. A brace taken.

12.2 Kim Garth to Tahlia Wilson, at a length on middle and leg, comes back in a tad. Wilson tries to whip it away to the on side but cannot quite get it off the middle of her bat.
