Women's T20 WC: 'It Was Nice To Spend Time In The Middle,' Says Gardner After Blazing Fifty Vs Netherlands
T20 World Cup: Ashleigh Gardner said she was pleased to make the most of her return to Australia’s playing XI after scoring a quickfire 58 off 32 balls in their record-equalling Women’s T20 World Cup total against the Netherlands at the Rose Bowl in Southampton on Saturday.
Gardner, who missed Australia’s previous match after suffering an ankle injury, played a key role in helping the six-time champions post 219/6, matching the highest total in Women’s T20 World Cup history. She shared a match-defining partnership with Beth Mooney, who top-scored with 74 before retiring hurt.
“It’s always nice to be able to spend some time out in the middle. I felt like it was a bit of a missed opportunity in that first game, and then obviously missed the second game. So, yeah, plenty of time to spend out in the middle, and had a really good partnership with Beth Mooney, which is really nice,” Gardner said after the innings.
