Sterre Kalis smokes 52 off 23 in high-scoring game | HIGHLIGHTS | Vitality Blast

Sterre Kalis blitzed a 23-ball half-century but it wasn't enough as the Bears lost by 19 runs under the Duckworth Lewis Stern method at Chelmsford in the Vitality Blast women’s competition. Essex batted first with Lissy Macleod (44), Grace Scrivens (36) and an explosive 27 from Maddie Penna lifting the hosts to 154-4 in a game reduced to 14 overs-a-side by rain. Kalis plundered 52 in 23 balls in reply, but her pyrotechnics came too late as Esmae MacGregor (3-32) and Sophia Smale (2-13) helped restrict the visitors to 139-8.
