Earlier in the day, GG scored 168/7 on the back of Beth Mooney’s unbeaten 62 off 51, including six fours. She almost fought alone with little to no support from the batters around her, with only Georgia Wareham showing some fight in his 35-run knock off 25 balls. Chinelle Henry returned with figures of 3 for 35 while Nandani Sharma was quite expensive, leaking 44 runs for two wickets.
