Scorchers’ innings revolved around solid top-order contributions. A brisk 27-run stand between Katie Mack and Beth Mooney set the tone for them, before skipper Devine and Maddy Darke built a steady partnership to guide the team through the middle overs. Mack, who struck four boundaries, was out lbw to Milly Illingworth while Mooney was bowled by Georgia Wareham for 21, bring the No. 3 and 4 together in the 8th over with the score at 51/2. Devine scored 40 in the 69-run stand for the third wicket, striking two fours and three sixes, including two maximums off Issy Wong that took Scorchers past 100 in the 13th over.
