CRICKET FOR THE FUTURE ?


By Brian Sanderson,

Today was the first match of the Women's Cricket Super League at Headingley were Yorkshire Diamonds were playing Loughborough Lightning in a 20/20 match

The away side won the toss and batted however they lost two quick wickets for 30.Sophie Devine, New Zealand international and Australian all -rounder Ellyse Perry but on 55 for the third wicket.

Sophie Devine held the innings together with 52 from 38 balls.Loughborough managed to reach 128 for 9 in their 29 overs. The Yorkshire bowling was steady with two  very good catches.

I thought the total should be beaten but soon they were 47 for 5 in fewer than 6 overs.it was left to Katherine Brunt to win the match and she scored 16 off 20 balls but this was not enough . They were bowled out for 85 in the 18 th over,
