Commentary

So that will be that from the WACA for this game, the match did resume after the first rain delay but only for three balls, after which the second, and eventually final rain interruption, sealed the deal. This now means that the points are shared between the Sydney Thunder Women and the Melbourne Stars Women. Up next, at the very same ground, will be the Perth Scorchers Women up against the Hobart Hurricanes Women in an hour's time from now. Do join us for that. As for now, this is the pair of Arya and Bidipto, saying good bye. Keep following Sportskeeda!

10:30 AM IST: Sadly, the match has been called off due to bad weather. Not the way we would have liked the game to end, but with another match coming up at the same venue, it perhaps is the best thing to do, given the conditions.

10:15 AM IST: No further update. The bad weather delay is persistent. If we do have more play, how many overs the match gets reduced to will be the thing to see. Stay with us.

Sydney Thunders 102/1 in 13.4 overs

Phoebe Litchfield 50(34) | Kim Garth 0/9(2)

It was the Melbourne Stars skipper Nicole Faltum who won the toss and put the Sydney Thunders in. The Stars got off to a perfect start as a sensational piece of fielding by Tess Flintoff at covers brought about the downfall of Tammy Beaumont. Phoebe Litchfield was joined by Amy Jones in the middle as the duo looked to overcome the early loss.

Kim Garth started off well but the rest of the pacers were far from their best and kept on drifting down the leg side. Litchfield took full toll on the Melbourne Stars bowlers and made full use of the fielding restrictions in the first four overs. Amy Jones also played some fine shots but couldn't quite make the impact that Litchfield was making at the other end.

Litchfield struck 7 fours and a six during her brilliant unbeaten knock of 50 off 34 deliveries but Amy Jones took 46 deliveries for her 44. Despite losing just a solitary wicket, the Sydney Thunders were unable to stamp their authority as the Melbourne Stars' bowlers bowl in the right channels, not allowing the batters to cut loose. When rain stopped play, the Sydney Thunders had reached 102 at the end of 13.4 overs.

9:45 AM IST- This could like be the end of the Thunders' innings. It's pelting down at the moment and it's unlikely that the Sydney Thunders will resume their innings.

9:40 AM IST: And here we go again, after three balls of play since resumption, the rain has come back! The players are off and the covers are on. It seems as though the rain may go away soon. But no, it has only got heavier!

13.4 Tess Flintoff to Phoebe Litchfield, back of a length delivery on this occasion A mistimed pull by Litchfield towards the mid-on region for a single. The rain has started to pelt down yet again and out come the covers. This could well be the end of the Sydney Thunder innings.

13.3 Tess Flintoff to Amy Jones, Jones gets under that. On a length around middle and leg and that has been helped away towards deep fine for a single.

Phoebe Litchfield gets to her 50!

13.2 Tess Flintoff to Phoebe Litchfield, back of a length delivery around middle. That has been nudged away with soft hands towards the on side for a single. Gets to a well-deserved half-century.

Round the wicket comes Flintoff to Litchfield.

Right, we are back! The match has been reduced to 17 overs per side.

9:35 AM IST: We have not heard of anything more from the WACA as yet, as the hold up in play due to bad weather continues. We will keep you posted with the latest updates as and when we get them.

Meanwhile, this is the update from the T20 World Cup game between Sri Lanka and Ireland.

9:05 AM IST: It has started raining now at the WACA, and the players have been taken off the field by the umpires for the ground staff to come in with the covers to cover the playing area. The pitch has been covered, so also the square, but let's hope that the rain goes away quickly.

Sydney Thunder Women have reached 100!

13.1 Tess Flintoff to Amy Jones, that ballons up over the keeper's head and a single taken. Back of a length delivery on that occasion, Jones goes forn the pull and gets a toppish edge which flies over the keeper's head and a single has been taken.

Over the wicket.

Tess Flintoff [2.0-0-19-0] is back into the attack.

Hitting the hard length will be a good option for the pacers at this stage, and if possible, trying to go fuller an slower can induce the false shot as well. The Stars are slowly but surely making their way back in the innings. By the way, it is drizzling at the WACA.
