Having won a rain-affected match, Warwickshire women are well-poised to qualify for a semi-final place, closely challenged by Durham Cricket, Somerset and Surrey. Batting first, Meg Austin [94 runs (from 114 balls) made top-score for Warwickshire women. Meg Austin banked 60 when partnered by acting skipper Katie George. Another 84 was added when partnered by debutante Brooke Halliday (NZ.) Claudia Cooper bagged a 4-fer (taking 4 wickets/conceding 55 runs) for Yorks (White Rose.) Brief rain stoppage between innings saw four overs docked from White Rose’s reply, with a lower target set. Highlights from White Roses’ reply were Ami Campbell whose cameo scored 35 from 20 balls with most (3) ’sixes;’ followed by Sterre Kalis’s [52 runs (from 71 )] partnership with Sarah Glenn 30(38) that chalked-up White Rose’s top-score with ‘fifty.’ Finally two ‘tail-ender’ stumpings by Nat Wraith from left-armed spinner Phoebe Brett enabled a favourable outcome for the hosts.
