After losing both the Exhibition Test and 50-Over Matches against Dorsy's XI, Natalie and her side had a point to prove, and Natalie, winning the toss decided to best way to do so was to send Dorsy's XI in and knock 'em over.
Wishy provided the goods for his captain straight away, bowling two dot balls to Finnie before catching her fishing with a slower ball. Tulip took a straight-forward catch behind the stumps. Cheese walked out to the crease and avoided, taking a single off her first ball. Angel then stroked the ball through the covers for 3.
Wishy and Kayn bowled two overs each, but Cheese and Angel survived without a chance and took the score to 1/26 after 4 overs. Spine came into the attack and was taken down for 13 runs off his first over. Buster went for 9 at the other end. Spine made up for his first over however with a wicket in his second; Angel castled for 29 from 19 balls. 2/49 after 6.3. Ayla joined Cheese at the crease... again, and quickly joined the action, the pair scoring 12 runs from Buster's next over.
After 10 overs, Ayla and Cheese had taken the score to 2/80. Ayla chipped a ball straight to midwicket in Galaxy II's first over, triggering a batting collapse. Snoope bowled Dorsy with a perfect leg-cutter which took the top of off stump. Cheese was the next to go on the last over of the same over, pulling a ball strongly, but straight to Carrot at square leg. All of a sudden, Dorsy's XI were reeling at 5/89 after 12 overs.
Berry only managed 13 runs from 14 balls before Galaxy II bowled her, middle stump, neck and crop. Coral was walking back soon after for 1, and Buster also only lasted an over. Wishy chipped in with the wicket of Muddy, and when Lin fell after a couple of legside hoicks for four, Dorsy's XI had been bowled out for 131 in 18.4 overs. Snoope finished with bowling figures of 3/21 off 4 overs, and Galaxy II took 3/25 from her 4 overs.
