11:23 AM IST| Deepak: The news from the center is that the match has been abandoned due to rain and both sides will share one point each.
Earlier in the match, Sydney Thunder won the toss and opt to bowl first. Adelaide Strikers openers Katie Mack and Deandra Dottin gave the team a steady start. While the former was doing all the run-scoring, the latter was struggling to place the ball. This 38-run first wicket stand was broken by Hannah Darlington in the 8th over as she castled Mack for a 28-ball 29. As their partnership between Deandra Dottin and Laura Wolvaardt grew steadily, the two added 30 runs for the second wicket as Dottin departed after scoring 24 runs off 27 balls. Although Laura Wolvaardt requested the power surge, she was unable to fully capitalize on it since she left the field in the third ball of the power surge after scoring 20 runs off 21 balls. The decision to halt play was made by the authorities as the rain became more intense. Due to heavy rain, the officials decided to call off the game.
On the other hand, Bates, Darlington, and Tryon shared one wicket each for the Thunders.

10:22 AM IST | Here we go. This was coming! The umpires have taken the players off the field as the drizzle gets heavier and heavier. The groundsmen are in with the covers.
W WICKETT!! Fuller length on the middle stump. Wolvaardt comes down a bit and sits low as she tries a swing through the line. Plays it aerially and plays it straight to the fielder at mid-on as Wolvaardt walks back.
14.2 S Bates to L Wolvaardt
0 Fuller outside the off. Wolvaardt comes down the track and drives it to short extra covers.
14.1 S Bates to T McGrath
