Alice Capsey to Linsey Smith. Length ball, driving, missed for 1 run, fielded by Faltum. What better than a nail-biter to kick-start WBL09! The Melbourne Stars bowling attack did the damage early to eventually win by 2 runs. Ashleigh Gardner tried her best to get the home side over the line with a magnificent 77 off 44 deliveries, but that effort went in vain. Annabel Sutherland took two crucial wickets in the 19th over, on her way to figures of 4/27 to go with 34 runs in the first innings, earning herself the Player of the Match award. WBBL09 is away to a flyer, there's a great season ahead. Catch you next time.
