Chloe Ainsworth ( Player of the Match, Perth Scorchers Women)- "The plan was to get the ball to move from the surface and bowl the wobble seamed delivery which jags off the surface. We back our bowlers and fielders to help us get over the line and we weren't really concerned about the lack of runs earlier on. "

Valuable contributions from Amy Jones (30 off 28) and Chloe Piparo (23 off 19) as Perth Scorchers ended with a fighting total of 122/8 in their 20 overs. It was not enough on the board for the home side but they had the belief with the strong bowling attack they cant defend the target.
