Pure joy in the Sixersâ camp â smiles all around and plenty of high-fives in the dugout. It was the World Boss herself, Deandra Dottin, who led from the front, finishing unbeaten on 46 to seal the deal in style for her side.
The Sixers players rush out onto the field, arms aloft, to celebrate a memorable triumph. A truly fitting end to what has been a fantastic tournament for womenâs cricket in Canada!
So, hereâs how the grand finale unfolded! Opting to bowl first, the Toronto Sixers were right on the money with the ball, restricting the Vancouver Thunderbirds to just 75/9. Their bowlers maintained disciplined lines and relentless pressure throughout. Amarpal Kaur and Xara Jelty were the standouts, claiming three wickets apiece to dismantle the Thunderbirdsâ batting order.
With the bat, it just never quite clicked for the Thunderbirds. Alisa Lister looked promising at the top with a quick 25 off 17, while Saee Purandare added some late resistance with 24 off 13. However, the lack of support from the rest meant they couldnât post a competitive total.
In reply, the Sixers started cautiously and were a touch slow early on, but Deandra Dottin held her nerve and ensured there were no hiccups in the chase. The seasoned all-rounder remained unbeaten on a classy 46 off 29 balls, guiding her side home with authority.
For the Thunderbirds, there wasnât much to defend. They bowled well in patches, especially in the first five overs, but faded away toward the end. That costly 20-run ninth over ultimately sealed their fate. Jess Joseph was the only wicket-taker, finishing with one scalp to her name.
Stay tuned â the post-match presentations are coming up shortly!
