Birkett was the next to folllow, scoring 15 off 30. Grace Harris stood strong at the other end, scoring a blitzy 162 off 114 and along with her, Laura Harris' quickfire 40-ball 62 guided their team to put up a huge competitive total of 326 at the end of the 50 over.
Samantha Betts did a wonderful job by picking 5 wickets in 10 overs; while Wellington scalped 2. McGrath, Lowe and Price bagged one each for SA Scorpions.
Chasing 327 became tough for the SA Scorpions as they lost their opener Bridget Patterson for 2. Soon Tahlia McGrath followed her in the dug out; after having scored 1 off 19. Tabatha Saville and Tegan McPharlin tried to steady the ship, adding 67 runs before Saville's soft dismissal.
After having scored a well-made 162, Harris became the pick of bowlers by scalping 5 wickets in the innings. Her 5-wicket haul dismantled SA Scorpion's batters as they were reduced to 128/7 from 84/3.
