The team started off a little disjointed but luckily, everything popped into place before the first ball. Sydenham won the toss and elected to bat. We managed to get a vital early wicket which set us up for a great innings in the field. A great take and magnificent run out from Nicola Clayton really set the scene for how the team was feeling. Sydenham made it to 152 with 3 wickets in hand after 50 overs with a respectable 54 not out for Darcey Prasad. It must have been a day for the spinners today with Abigail Hotton 1 wicket for 28 runs off her 10 overs and Captain Libby Stead 2 wickets for 25 runs after her 10 overs.
We then stopped for lunch and prepared ourselves for the mighty task of winning this game.
Abigail again was a highlight with the bat scoring 34 runs off 59 balls as well as Izzy sharp with her 30 runs off 40 balls. Sydenham got us down to our last 3 wickets and it was starting to feel a little tense, we could feel the win coming.
And just like that, we had won the game… we had one our first ever 50 over game as a Premier side. We are making our mark and proving that we do deserve to be here!
