After morning rain reduced the game to 33 overs per side, Victorian skipper Molly Strano won the toss and elected to bowl first. It looked a good decision after Kristen Beams picked up the early wicket of Claire Koski.
But the Meteors steadied through Katie Mack (63) and Anna Lanning (46) to post a respectable total of 6-168. Strano, Beams, Annabel Sutherland and Makinley Blows all taking a wicket each.
The Vics got off to a patient but solid start with Elyse Villani (41) and Blows (48) putting on 88 for the first wicket. But when they both departed in a short space of time, the Victorian middle order couldn’t up the run rate, despite the best efforts of Sutherland (35*). The Meteors taking home the win on the back of a stifling bowling effort.
Victoria will have an opportunity to bounce back almost immediately when they face New South Wales in Adelaide on Tuesday at 10.30am AEST.
