Alana King, POTM speaks with a beaming smile on her face: Nice to have bit of turn and grip in the wicket, very happy, Graham and Brunt set the tone upfront. Felt really nice out of my hand, it was leg-spinner's dream so I'll take that (on first wicket) We saw the wicket did a lot in the first innings, ball was gripping...we just had to keep our process simple and stick to (plan). I love bowling in challenging conditions as well and for a pitch to have a little bit of turn, I really loved bowling there, happy to play my part
The rejigged Trent Rockets have registered a statement win and achieved the winning start they were after. Alana King produced a leg-spin masterclass and her first-ball wicket will remain etched in the minds of everyone who saw this contest. Northern Superchargers seemed ruffled right from the powerplay and lacked composure as a unit, playing many reckless shots even though the required rate wasn't very taxing. Thank you for following our coverage. The Men's Hundred game is going to get underway shortly. For now, this is Rvel Zahid, signing off.
