Tornadoes storm past Sapphires to take consolation win in FairBreak 2023

KOWLOON: Tornadoes claimed a 55-run emphatic win over Sapphires in the fifth-placing match of the FairBreak Invitational 2023 after a phenomenal combined effort by the bowlers.

Tornadoes bundled out the opposition for a paltry 60 after setting a low target of 116, thanks to three wickets each by Chanida Sutthiruang, Sita Rana Magar and Winifred Duraisinga.

With the win Tornadoes ended their disappointing campaign on a positive note as they finished fifth in the tournament despite ending the league stage without a win.

Sapphires exhibited a dismal batting show since nine of their batters failed to go past the single digit while Katie Mack (11) and Erin Burns (10), barely made it into double figures. 

As a result, the whole team was bowled out inside the 15th over.

For Tornadoes, skipper Stafanie Taylor top-scored with 17-ball 24 while Pakistan’s Aliya Riaz played a late cameo of 19 runs from 22 balls. 

Sterre Kalis and Mary-Anne Musonda scored 19 and 18 respectively at the top.
