Georgia Voll's impressive half-century in a rain-shortened Governor General's XI match against England provided a glimpse of her potential ahead of the Ashes series.
Rising star Georgia Voll showcased her explosive hitting prowess in a shortened Governor General’s XI match against England at North Sydney Oval on Thursday. Voll smashed a 38-ball fifty, leading a strong opening partnership with Alyssa Healy (38 from 33 balls) before rain brought an early end to the match. England spinner Sophie Ecclestone claimed 3-27, dismantling the Governor General’s XI middle order and restricting the hosts to 8-183 from 28.2 overs.
While Voll's performance was a positive highlight, the match provided limited opportunity for Healy to prove her fitness ahead of the Ashes opener at the same venue this weekend
