How about this catch from Sophia Smale?? 👇🏻👇🏻
Lauren Winfield-Hill (Oval Invincibles Women Captain): "Well I really enjoyed the way we played tonight. Paige batted really well and she took calculative risks which worked well for us. Chamari will be back for us and I am sure Paige will be happy to give her that spot.
We have a really good group of players and I am really proud of the way we played tonight. We knew 150 was a par score here but still we had to bowl well which we did as well."

Paige Scholfield (Player of the Match) : "I am absolutely buzzing today with my performance. I usually come in at the end but I enjoyed opening the batting tonight. Yeah I feel like the wicket played really well as it had some tennis ball bounce and I backed myself.
We bat till 11 and I trusted myself because I know I have them in my back. She (Chamari Athapaththu) can bat in my place and I would be happy to bat down the order. We are one of the best fielding side and we are proud of ourselves tonight."
