Tooradin travelled to take on Crib Point. Tooradin was sent in to bat first, and set the Magpies a tricky target to chase down.

After the end of their 20 overs, Tooradin had scored 3/116.

Crib Point was bowled out for 73.
Erin Macfarlane bowled excellently, taking three wickets for just four runs. She dismissed both openers, and also contributed to a run-out.
