In Match 10 of the Australia Women's One Day Cup, Victoria Women square off with ACT Meteors at the Junction Oval in Melbourne.
In the previous fixture, Victoria won the toss and elected to bowl against New South Wales. The latter got bundled out for a below-par total of 206 where Alyssa Healy top scored with 65 runs. From Victoria, Annabel Sutherland was the stand-out performer, picking up 3 wickets in her ten-over spell.
In the run chase, it was a cakewalk for Victoria. Elyse Villani (80) and Meg Lanning (91) ensured a convincing eight-wicket victory with six overs to spare.
On the other hand, ACT Meteors opted to bat first after winning the toss against South Australia. They could put up a paltry 196 runs on the board. Katie Mack's amazing knock of 106 went in vain as the remaining team members could add only 90 runs to the tally.
Samantha Betts from South Australia picked up three wickets for just 14 runs in her five-over spell to restrict the opposition to a low score.
In response, South Australia were in complete control of the chase. Bridget Patterson (108) and Courtney Webb (52) joined forces to secure a comfortable victory by seven wickets.
This is going to be a tough competition between the two sides. Victoria would like to continue their winning momentum, whereas ACT Meteors will look to bounce back.
