Women's Super Smash 2023-24: Top run-getters and wicket-takers after Wellington Blaze vs Canterbury Magicians ft. Amelia Kerr

Wellington Blaze strengthened their position at the top of the points table after beating Canterbury Magicians by 47 runs on Thursday in Christchurch.

Rebecca Burns (45 off 34) and Amelia Kerr (77 off 55) played stellar knocks. This helped Wellington Blaze put on a decent score of 154 runs for the loss of six wickets in 20 overs.

Madeline Penna ran through Wellington’s middle-order, not allowing them to capitalize on the start provided by Burns and Kerr. Penna returned with outstanding bowling figures of 3/4 in two overs. However, it went in vain as Canterbury Burns failed to chase down the total.

Kate Anderson (23 off 21) and Madeline Penna (25) got starts but couldn’t convert those. But, besides them, none of the batters got going and most of them got out in single-digit scores. As a result, the Canterbury were bundled out for just 107 runs in the second innings.

Amelia Kerr was the star performer with the ball as well, returning with outstanding bowling figures of 5/10 in four overs.
