Kent Women:
Amy Gordon – the pick of the bowlers as she opened the bowling, Amy Gordon picked up figures of 2/28 off her four overs to get her season underway.
Sydney Gorham – responsible for opening the bowling alongside Amy Gordon, Sydney Gorham was not to be left behind having returned impressive numbers of 1/28 in four overs.
Megan Belt – the captain was a bit expensive, as Megan Belt went for 33 off her four overs, but the wicket she took was a huge one as she dismissed the in-from Saskia Horley.
Sussex Women:
Eve O’Neill – after finding herself out there at 5-40 in the eighth over, O’Neill had the task to rebuild and she did that well, with O’Neill scoring 29 off 30 balls and she picked up 3/18 off her four overs with the ball.
Mollie Adams – the wicketkeeper-batter was the leading batter for the Sussex Women in their first game as she struck a run-a-ball fifty after Sussex collapsed early.
