But tess flintoff

But Tess Flintoff: After sealing a 45-run win in an engrossing four-day red-ball match against India ‘A’, Australia ‘A’ skipper Charli Knott said the team knew wickets would come sooner due to them being aware of the visitors’ aggressive batting nature.

On day four, Uma Chetry (47) and Raghvi Bist (26) stitched a 79-run stand for the seventh wicket, as India ‘A’ needed just 80 more runs to chase down 289. But Tess Flintoff’s double strike in the 83rd over, where she removed both set batters, paved the way for Australia ‘A’ to win the match.

"It was definitely an exciting match. Day one we felt a little bit nervous after not putting in a great performance with the bat (to be bowled out for 212 in first innings). But the bowling group has managed to do an awesome job and the second innings with the bat, our lower order really fought to get us to a defendable total which we needed in the end there."
