3) Beth Mooney- Perth Scorchers Women vs Sydney Thunder Women(Today)

Georgia Voll (Player of the Match): "I sort of knew from the last couple of games that I was going too hard too early. Watched Lizelle Lee bat and it helped me. Decided to give myself some time before taking on the bowlers. It was a bit up and down. I was a bit disappointed with myself after the last game. Working close with Michael Klinger who keeps believing in me. To play this knock, it feels really special. To be chasing the big total, I had the backing from the coaches to play my way. It was a great effort from everyone. If I bat this way, I'm pretty happy. But I think at the moment, 150 is pretty safe."
