8:38pm Local Time, 3:08pm IST : The Strikers Women have posted a good total on the board after electing to bat first. Bouchier departed early but de Broughe and Wolvaardt shared a partnership of 76 runs for the 2nd wicket to set a good platform. de Broughe brought up her fifty but departed shortly although Wolvaardt showed her class and took charge of the innings. She brought up a stunning fifty as she switched gears efficiently. Madeline Penna chipped in with a cameo of 44 off just 19 balls as the duo made great use of the Power Surge. Penna departed once the Surge ended but Wolvaardt was able to use her long levers to great effect as she provided a strong finish to the innings while also taking her side past the 200-run mark. The Scorchers Wome haven't lost a game so far and this chase might prove to be a tricky one for them against a quality Strikers Women bowling unit.
