It wasn't to be for our Sydney University W2, who went under to Penrith W2 by five wickets at Howell Oval.
We batted first and finished with 8/223 on the board from 50 overs. Vani Bhadana batted well for 43 off 60 balls with five fours. Adelaide Hicks played a handy knock of 34. Simran Dhatt returned four for 47 for Penrith W2.
The hosts knocked off the runs, finishing on 5/226 in 38 overs. Annabel Batty made a good 133 not out for our opponents, a century worth applauding. Our best with the ball was Diksha Chowdhary, who took three for 47.
Not our day, but there's plenty to work with. The team will be keen to turn things around after two straight losses.
The girls will be keen to bounce back.
