SCHOOL SPORT VICTORIA - STATE QUARTER FINALS

Junior Girls

CMCB won the toss and elected to bowl first. The innings began with an early breakthrough as Macey White clean bowled one of the Kyneton openers to get the girls up and about. Despite the early setback, Kyneton High School regrouped quickly, capitalising on some overthrows to build momentum.

At the halfway mark, Kyneton were in a strong position at 2/63. CMCB then turned the tide in the final 10 overs with a disciplined bowling display. Chelsea Wilson (1/1), Elle Gilchrist (0/2), and Indie Kramer (0/4) delivered tight spells. With two brilliant run outs, the girls found their groove and restricted Kyneton to just 28 more runs. Kyneton finished with a total of 91 – a competitive but reachable target.

In reply, CMCB’s batting innings got off to a flying start thanks to Eden Rooke (10) and Indie Kramer (6), who made the most of their 20 balls, as well as picking up extra runs from wides and no balls. Macey White then stole the show with a blistering 36 off 20 balls, putting CMCB firmly in control. With solid contributions from Paige Kristiansen, Evie Gretgrix, and Sienna Raco, the team chased down the target with 8 overs to spare.

With this emphatic win, the CMCB girls have now qualified for the State Finals, to be held in Melbourne on Thursday 27 November.
