The scoring rate has picked up slightly. Klinger has past his fifty. Both Voges and Klinger have kept the scoreboard ticking with singles.

OUT C Simmons 47 c Carter b Cummins

Western Australia 120 Overs 25

C Simmons 46(68), M Klinger 36(60)

Simmons and Klinger appear to be consolidating. If WA have wickets in hand in the end they can mount an assault late in their innings.

 

 Western Australia 102 I Overs 20

C Simmons 35(54), M Klinger 30(44)

Simmons and Klinger have steadied the innings and will look to go for some big shots and push the scoring rate up. Simmons overcame a cautious start while Klinger has been free-flowing from the start.

 

Simmons’ innings has gained momentum with a boundary each in the last three overs.

 

Big wicket for Wales. Harris was the one who had scored most of the runs due to a slow start from Simmons. Gurinder Sandhu gets the breakthrough as Harris walks back.
OUT! M Harris c Watson b Sandhu 33(22)

 

Openers Simmons and Harris look settled now. Simmons had piled on the pressure on himself as he was stucl on six from 18 balls. But one over brought the momentum back in favour of the batting side. Harris hits three fours and follows it up with a six in the next over.

 

 

Solid start for the Warriors. Bollinger starts off with consecutive wides before Harris hits a boundary and adds three more in the next delivery. Craig Simmons also opened his account with tree.
