The Fairbreak Global Women’s T20 2023 started with a thrilling encounter between Falcons and Tornadoes at the Kowloon Cricket Club on Monday (April 3). Falcons emerged victorious in the contest and defeated Tornadoes by 41 runs.

Asked to bat first, Falcons started their innings on a shaky note, losing the opener Danielle Wyatt for a duck. However, Theertha Satish played a crucial knock of 57 off just 40 balls to stabilize the innings. Mariko Hill and Nannapat Koncharoenkai chipped in with valuable contributions to help the Falcons reach a respectable total of 150/6 in their allotted 20 overs. Meanwhile, Sune Luus and Winifred Duraisingam grabbed two wickets each for the Tornadoes.

In response, Tornadoes got off to a disastrous start, losing their top two batters for ducks. Luus fought hard and scored a brisk 48, but she did not receive enough support from the other end. Marizanne Kapp and Sornnarin Tippoch bowled brilliantly for the Falcons, picking up three wickets each, while Kaia Arua and Chamari Atapattu grabbed two and one wickets, respectively.

Tornadoes could only manage to score 109/9 in their allotted 20 overs, losing the match by 41 runs. Falcons’ bowlers were on top throughout the innings and did not let the opposition batters settle. Satish was adjudged ‘Player of the Match’ for her exceptional performance.

While Falcons would be happy to start their campaign with a win, Tornadoes would be disappointed to lose their opening encounter and will eye their maiden win of the season in their next match.
