Last Sunday, the North came out on top in the women’s North v South T20 played at Quilmes in a nail-biter, reaching the target in the very last ball of the game.
After winning the toss the North decided to field first in the T20 match played yesteday. The south got off to a shaky start, losing a couple of quick wickets, but bounced back thanks to a great partnership of 90 runs between captain Cecilia Birnie (50*) and Georgina Retamales (16) to close their allotted 20 overs reaching a respectable 100 runs for the loss of 4 wickets. The pick of the North bowlers was Dirce Yuli, with figures of 4-0-19-2.
In reply, the North didn’t start as they had wished, also losing two quick wickets. After this, experienced Delfina Canton (21) and captain Catalina Greloni (31*) steadied the ship, and seemed to be guiding the North to an comfortable victory. But the South fought back, and thanks to Sofia Bruno (4-0-12-2) and Sofia Retamales (4-0-21-2) got right back into the game.
It all boiled down to the last over with the North needing 4 runs. It was rookie Emilia Rosada who was charged with the responsability...and she did a great job. She took the game to the very last ball, with the North still needing one run, but unfortunately she bowled a wide, which gave the North the precious and hard-fought victory.
