-TULIPS ADDED SALT TO INJURY OF DAISIES-
The afternoon encounter brought further disappointment for the Daisies as they fell to a dominant Accra Tulips side. Once again losing the toss, the Daisies were put in to bat and struggled against disciplined bowling, managing 78 all out in 16.4 overs.
Abigail Amuzu, who had earlier retired hurt, returned to add 13 (25) in a brave effort.
Tulips captain Rebecca Adotei led from the front with the ball, claiming 3.0-0-12-3 to secure the Player of the Match accolade.
Accra Tulips cruised to a nine-wicket victory, losing only Christiana Manu 4(18), who was bowled by Sandra Adzokatse in the 3.3 overs.
Rebecca Adotei, 27 (31), and Anabelle Akosua Falaye, 13 (30), guided the Tulips to 79/1 in 11.4 overs, sealing the win in just 62 minutes.
After three matches, Accra Lilies sit top of the table with six points, while Accra Tulips follow with two points from two matches. Accra Daisies remain winless after three games and are yet to pick up a point.
Week 3 action on Saturday, January 10, will see Accra Tulips face Accra Lilies before taking on Accra Daisies later in the day.
The Women’s T20 League, also being played concurrently in the Ashanti and Central Regions, serves as a key pathway for selecting a formidable national team for future international assignments.
