Vitality Blast women T20 – league two, match 16

Julian Thompson — Thu, 26 Jun 2025 22:48:11 +0000

Sussex Sharks (women) vs Kent Horses (women) – match 16 – L2 double-header at 1st Central County Ground Hove on Sunday 22 June

Sussex Sharks women out-performed their close rivals, limiting two Kent Horses women batters to reach double-figures. Sharks top-scorer Rachel King made a match-winning ‘fifty’ from twenty-eight balls. Between innings, commentators considered whether Sharks batters would make light work of their reply with the possibility of inclement weather prematurely curtailing the match. Sharks made good progress until best Horses bowler Megan Belt took two wickets in three balls: the second dismissing Nancy Harman (pictured wearing Hampshire colours.) Next over keeper-turned-batter Mollie Adams hit the winning ‘four.’ Commentators were Andrew Raeburn (for Sussex cricket) with Oliver Shouksmith (BBC Sport online.) Weather was notably overcast, ‘grey’ with the threat of rain or drizzle 18C.
