LIVE: Stars and Thunder clash for glory

It is a horror begin for the Melbourne stars who’ve been shell-shocked in a stellar opening spell with the ball in hand from the Sydney Thunder.

Elyse Villani has fallen for only a single run after by no means wanting settled on the crease, on what appears to be like like an unpredictable pitch because of some scorching climate in Sydney at the moment.

The Star opener performed and missed no less than 4 deliveries earlier than holing straight out at mid-off.

Her associate Meg Lanning did not fare significantly better, after she was dropped by Tammy Beaumont at deep gully, and was fortunate to outlive the primary over.

“That is acquired to be taken, that is nerves, that is as regulation because it comes,” Slater stated of the missed alternative.

However it’s important to say it has been an excellent begin for Thunder bowlers Shabnim Ismael and Sammy-Jo Johnson, with the previous claiming the early scalp.

The motion these two are getting out of the seam is insane, and like clockwork, the second wicket falls as Mignon du Preez is distributed again to the pavilion as quick as she got here out.

It isn’t lengthy earlier than Meg Lanning follows go well with and departs with simply 13 off 15 balls.
