ICC Women's World Cup 2017, Sri Lanka vs Australia: 5 Talking Points

#2 Nicole Bolton continues her purple patch with the bat

Bolton came into this game after scoring 107 against West Indies

The opening batswoman for Australia is considered as one of the best in the business and she is reflecting just why in the tournament. She made a well-paced 60 and played a perfect foil for her captain, Meg Lanning to get on with the proceedings.

She did not take unnecessary risks and reserved the hitting part for Lanning. Yet she scored at a healthy rate of 84.5 in an inning which included eight risk-free fours. Bolton followed last game’s brilliant century against West Indies with another solid knock and the Aussies will be glad their opening pair are firing.
