Melbourne, who won their opening game on Thursday, were dismissed in just 9.3 overs and 37 runs short of the tournament’s previous lowest total.
No Star made double figures with Sophia Dunkley top-scoring with nine, and nine of the batters were dismissed for three or less.
“We started unreal with the bat with Katie and Laura and then with the ball as well with Mushy and Shooter , so very happy,” McGrath told Fox Sports. Mack took 11 off the first Kim Garth over, slashing a couple of boundaries backward of point and scored 49 of her team’s first 55 runs. Melbourne’s reply was catastrophic with the visitors playing a series of loose shots and providing the Strikers with catching practice.
“It’s incredibly disappointing, we came here with high hopes to play our best cricket and we were short of that and well beaten,” England captain Jos Buttler said.Getty Images “I thought if we could have restricted them to 340-350, probably on this pitch it would have been a really good chase. They just got away from us at the end.”
