The third-place playoff will see the Spirit Women take on the Barmy Army Women at the Kowloon Cricket Club in Kowloon on Sunday, April 16. These two sides lost their respective semi-final fixtures and will be hoping to finish the competition on a winning note.

Spirit Women lost the first semi-final of the Fairbreak Global Invitational Women’s T20 2023 competition against the Warriors Women. It was a disappointing performance from them as they suffered a heavy loss.

After being asked to bat first, only Sophia Dunkley (16) and Natthakan Chantham (26) got to double digits as the Spirit Women got bundled out on 73 in just 17.4 overs.

Dunkley and Mahika Gaur picked up three and two wickets, respectively, but they failed to defend the total. They will be hoping to put in a much-improved performance on Sunday.

Barmy Army Women, meanwhile, faced the Falcons Women in their semi-final clash. It was a close-fought contest and the Barmy Army Women tried hard but failed to finish on the winning side and as a result, failed to qualify for the final.

Fatima Sana top-scored with an unbeaten 45 as the Barmy Army Women finished their innings at 158/8. The bowlers managed to pick up only four wickets as the Falcons Women chased the total with 11 balls to spare.

Barmy Army Women need to fire in unison to finish the tournament on a high.
