00:09Beth Mooney was the star on the night for the Aussies.
00:15But her opening partner Georgia Wall was out cheaply, giving Deandra Dotton the wicket.
00:22Phoebe Litchfield's fleeting stay at the crease made it 34 for 2.
00:30But Mooney and new batter Elise Perry came to their team's rescue.
00:36Their stand was worth 99 with the left handed Mooney going on to top score at 79.
00:42And Perry was next best as she chipped in with 36.
00:49Chanel Henry bowled well and picked up 2 for 28.
00:53Another chance for Dotton, another catch for Dotton.

01:4276 for 1 turned into 76 for 4 with King taking 3 scalps in the match.
01:47Stefani Taylor chipped in with 28 but in vain.
