Molineux steers Country to victory
Chasing Metro’s target of 113, Country surpassed the total with several overs to spare in their 50-over encounter.
Gippsland Pride’s Molineux (110) and Central Highlands’ Kate Kile (15) set the tone early, combining for a 36-run partnership before Kile was run out by the Western Spirit’s Taylah Lynn.
Wickets continued to fall around Molineux, however, the left-hander showed enormous control, smashing 17 boundaries to steer the Country to victory.
The Northern Rivers’ Tayla Vlamenick also produced a handy cameo in the lower-order, adding 34 runs to the tally.
The South East Sharks’ Courtney Neale was the pick of the Metro bowlers, claiming 3-19 from eight overs.
Earlier, Molineux (3-9) and the Mallee Murray Heat’s Makinley Blows (3-7) tore through the Metro batting line-up, with Neale top-scoring on 22.
Country has a two-nil lead in the series with two Twenty20s being played today.

Playing two Twenty20 matches in East Malvern yesterday, Metro claimed the first win of the day, reaching Country’s target of 5-92 with nine balls to spare.
The Inner East Emus’ Zoe Griffiths top scored with 25 with Country sharing the wickets.
In the second game of the day, Metro set a target of 7-82 with North East Knights’ Maddison Baird taking 3-6 from three overs.
