The thumping victory also meant Australia \u2018A\u2019 sealed the T20 series victory. Alyssa hit a blistering 44-ball 70, laced with 12 boundaries, to set up Australia A\u2019s total of 187\/4, while Tahlia Wilson (43), Anika Learoyd (35), and Courtney Webb (26) chipped in with valuable contributions.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"We spoke a lot about the batting innings (after Thursday) and just how we could push that score up to that 180-200 mark, and I think the girls were awesome today,\" Garth was quoted as saying by cricket.com.au after the match ended.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"We spoke a lot about intent and how we're going to start our innings, and I think we saw some really cool examples of that. She did really well, and obviously, Midge up the top there was awesome. Throughout the whole batting innings, I think we played with a lot more intent, so that was really pleasing to see,\" she added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The third and final T20 between the two teams will be played at the same venue in Mackay on Sunday night. Garth, who took 4-7 to set up the dominant win, including taking three wickets in power-play, said she was pleased to be back in competitive action after a long pre-season.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"It was really nice to have a run around out there. There's a lot of stuff I'm happy with, but also a few things I'm working on that I think I need to tidy up on, just in terms of my execution at the end. It feels like it's been a really long preseason, so it's great to get out there and run around with the girls,\" she added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
