Phoebe Litchfield made a fight of it with 51 runs off 37 deliveries, and now needs the rest of the team to step up.
Litchfield is 3.60 to be Team – Top Batter for the Thunder,
Nicola Carey was the star of the show for the Hurricanes when smashing 52 runs off 38 deliveries to help set up the win.
Tabatha Saville also chipped in with an unbeaten 23 runs, but it was the performance of Carey that shone through.
The same could be needed again and Carey is 5.00 to be Team – Top Batter, with Danni Wyatt-Hodge available at 3.75.
Heather Graham then took 3-19 off her four overs as the Thunder were dismissed with relative ease.
Graham is 4.00 to star again and be Team – Top Bowler.
