Sydney Thunders giving an excellent fight here but they were not able to get to the target here. The Thunders after losing the wicket of the top order off which Wilson and Litchfield played a very good knock scoring a 40 runs each! It was Wong who started playing a Wonder Woman's knock here by hitting a total of six sixes off which 3 in a row came off the 17th over but it wasn't enough to chase down the huge total after her wicket fell. The Adelaide Strikers with an amazing performance with the ball as well with the skipper and Wellington taking 2 wickets each along with Schutt and Barsby doing her best and ensuring that the team does not make the total. It was also the slow start after getting derailed with the first wicket that put a lot of pressure on them towards the end and they will surely look to try and not repeat the same from the games in the future.
Thank you so much for tuning in for yet another exciting contest here. This is Ankit Sharma and Pranav Danani signing off. Until next time.
Adelaide Strikers Women beat Sydney Thunder Women by 18 runs.

19.6 Tahlia McGrath to Lauren Smith , full length delivery, straight on the off stump. Smith makes some room, and thumps this one down towards cover. She takes a single, but that won't nearly be enough to win this game. The Strikers put on a show, a much needed show that too, to win this game, and pick up two crucial points.
19.5 Tahlia McGrath to Deepti Sharma , short of a good length on the off stump. Sharma pulls it, gives it some air, and guides it towards deep square leg for a single.
19.4 Tahlia McGrath to Deepti Sharma , full length delivery, outside the off stump. Sharma plays it inside out, as she reaches for it, and slaps it towards cow corner region for a couple more runs.
19.3 Tahlia McGrath to Lauren Smith , quicker one, full length, on the fourth stump line. Smith drills this really nicely, but only towards cover. Fielder stops the ball from going past her, but gives away just a single.
19.2 Tahlia McGrath to Hannah Darlington , OUT! BOWLED! Skipper gets the skipper! Full and straight, with just some pace taken off it. Darlington keeps her feet away from the stumps, and merely swings her bat wildly. Does not pick up the slower one, and has her stumps knocked off.
19.1 Tahlia McGrath to Deepti Sharma , slower one, full and wide outside the off stump. Just short of a yorker length, as Sharma gets her bat parallel to the ground, and teases this one towards short third for a single.
19.1 Tahlia McGrath to Deepti Sharma , wide ball! Too harsh from the umpire. Sharma goes across the stumps early. McGrath bowls it wide away from here, but the umpire calls it a wide.

18.6 Amanda Wellington to Deepti Sharma , good length delivery, on the leg side. Sharma paddles it down towards deep backward point for a single to keep strike.
18.5 Amanda Wellington to Deepti Sharma , FOUR!!! Tossed up delivery, slightly overpitched on the off side. Sharma stays in her crease, and launches it over mid off. She times it really well as the ball goes to the fence, after a couple of bounces.
18.4 Amanda Wellington to Deepti Sharma , slower one, full and just outside off stump. Sharma goes to loft this, and gets enough to clear extra cover, who is inside the circle. She comes back for a couple of runs.
18.3 Amanda Wellington to Hannah Darlington , slower one, full and wide outside off stump. Darlington chips it towards long off, as she gets one and gets off the mark.
Issy Wong giving us an amazing display of batting here! What a knock that was and it almost felt like she was going to win this one.
18.2 Amanda Wellington to Isabelle Wong , OUT! BOWLED! The blitzkrieg comes to an end! Tossed up delivery, just short of a full length, straight on the stumps. Wong was in two minds to whether sweep it, or defend it. Her bat had already turned in her hands, and she could not counter this fuller on. Ball skids under the bat, and rattles the stumps.
Issy Wong b A Wellington 43 (17b 0x4 6x6)
18.2 Amanda Wellington to Isabelle Wong , wide ball! Wellington tries to bowl full and wide, but ends up going overboard, as she bowls down the off side tram line.
18.1 Amanda Wellington to Isabelle Wong , SIX!!!! WONG CONTINUES TO WREAK HAVOC HERE! Wong comes down the track, and is gifted a full toss outside off stump. Wong gets on her knee, and thrashes this over cow corner for another maximum.
