The Oval Invincibles Women did a very good job with the ball in hand to contain runs. They picked up four wickets in total, with Amanda-Jade Wellington finishing with two.
In reply, Chamari Athapaththu (33) and Lauren-Winfield Hill (20) gave them a solid start. Paige Scholfield (48* off 27 balls) then played a fantastic knock to take the Invincibles Women across the line in 93 balls with seven wickets in hand.
Alice Monaghan picked up two wickets for the Originals Women but it wasn’t enough as they failed to defend the total. With this win, the Invincibles Women grabbed two crucial points and got back to winning ways.
