That will be all from the duo of Abhishek and Arya. Hope you enjoyed our coverage of Fairbreak Invitational Tournament. Till then goodbye and take care!
Sana Mir (South Coast Sapphires captain): We wanted our players to play freely and make the most of it. So, it was a good toss to lose. Our plan was to use the first three overs to good use. We used Brunt and Ismail to do the job. We wanted the bonus to stay in the competition and they got the job. We have to play with the freedom. The batters have found their form and the bowlers have got their groove as well. We just needed one proper match to get going and we got that today.
Sune Luus (Tornadoes captain): We just went with the same team. Unfortunately, our captain wasn't able to play today. Hopefully, she can play in the next game and help us play better. We are not able to execute things properly. Last year, we were more consistent, and the conditions were different. Still, two games are present. So, hopefully, we can finish on a high.
Tash Farrant is the Player of the Match. Here is what she had to say: I think the team has given me the freedom to play my natural game. Shabsi started very well, trying to give them no pace to work with and luckily it worked for me today.
South Coast Sapphires beat Tornadoes by 36 runs. Sune Luus 13 (6b) | Tash Farrant - 3/11 Natasha Miles 12 (12b) | Katherine Brunt - 2/8
Well, the Tornadoes were never close to giving South Coast Sapphires a fight. No partnerships as wickets kept on tumbling at regular intervals.
The openers Dane van Niekerk and Sterre Kalis departed in the second over in single digits. Sune Luus and Aliya Riaz went into double digits and so did Natasha Miles but their efforts were not enough.
Katherine Brunt and Tash Farrant were amont the wickets. All those who kept them as captains and vice captains in their fantasy team will have got their money's worth.

5.4 Tash Farrant to Chanida Sutthiruang, WICKET! Farrant gets her 3rd and Sutthiruang has to depart first ball. What a day Tash Farrant is having. That was a slower delivery on a length well outside off, Sutthiruang not getting anywhere close to the timing she was after, gets a top edge which has been safely taken by the mid-off fielder in the circle.
