Women’s Premier Cricket T20 finals heat up this week

Both sides finished the home and away component of the T20 season on 20 points.

The clubs completed a dress rehearsal last Sunday at Shepley Oval in Dandenong with Essendon Maribyrnong Park winning by 20 runs thanks to performances from Makinley Blows, Natalie Schilov and Chloe Rafferty.

Molineux, fresh from making 55 for the Melbourne Renegades in the WBBL semi final in Sydney, has made 130 runs in just two T20 innings (with a knock of 102 against Carlton-Brunswick in the opening round).

The match commences at 5:15pm and will be live streamed by MySportLive via Victorian Premier Cricket Facebook. Journalist and broadcaster Megan Hustwaite will be commentating the match.

The Women’s 2nd XI T20 Grand Final takes place on Friday evening at Harry Trott Oval with Melbourne and Box Hill to go into battle.

Cricket Victoria Premier Cricket Operations Manager Mike Ronchi said it was an exciting time of the year.

“We’ve got two really good finals ahead of us and in particular having a number of Australian players able to put on their club colours for EMP and Dandenong is fantastic. We wish everyone well for what will be an exciting couple of evenings of women’s Premier Cricket.”
