Two T20 wins for Sussex Women

Sussex Women Cement Top Place with Two T20 Victories

Sussex Women beat Suffolk CCC and Middlesex Women yesterday to maintain their fantastic T20 form and their place at the top of the group table. 

In their first T20 of the day, Sussex won the toss and put Suffolk into bat and restricted them to just 94-8 from 20 overs. 

It was yet another outstanding performance from the Sussex bowling attack, who have regularly restricted their opponents to low scores this season.

Beth Harvey once again starred with the ball, picking up 3-11 from her 3 overs, following up from the five wickets she picked up across two T20s during their last double-header outing.

Once again the wickets were shared among the Sussex bowlers, something which has been a major strength this season for the team, with Chiara Green, Millie Taylor, Nancy Harman and Faye Mullins all among the wickets.

With the bat the chase went relatively smoothly, with Sussex opener Lucy Western undefeated for 43 at the crease. 

Western had good support from Millie Taylor who notched 32 from 27 balls to help set up the win.

In the second game, Middlesex won the toss and decided to put Sussex into bat and it was wicket-keeper-batter Mollie Adams who top scored for the visitors, with 39 from 52 balls.

Skipper Chiara Green made a run-a-ball 30 to take Sussex to 122-5 from their 20 overs. 

Middlesex would have felt happy chasing 123 to win, however the Sussex bowling attack asserted their dominance once again. 

Chiara Green then backed up her performance with the bat by taking 4-15 from her 4 overs. 

There was another wicket for the in-form Beth Harvey, as well as wickets for Nancy Harman and Tia Joseph. 

Sussex bowled with control to ensure Middlesex did not get up with the run-rate and were eventually dismissed for 94 in the final over of the game.
