Thunders played just the last game, and were out-showcased by the duo Devine and Mooney, who just smashed each & every ball out of the park. Sydney were given 187 on the board to chase, but they just scored 105, which is terrible. Both the batting and bowling department of the team were bad, and it showed in the scorecard.

Deepti Sharma

The all rounder is likely to play a vital role in helping the team to get their first victory in the tournament. If she lands the ball in right areas, the spinners will be in advantage.
