Day 3 Evening - Canberra

The main reason we popped down to Canberra was to go to the cricket. 

The Australian women’s team was playing the Indian team in a T20 match.  This was the first time I had attended a T20 match and the first time that either of us had seen the girls play. They had played in Sydney on Sunday and the Aussies lost. We were hoping for a better outcome this time.

The match was played at Manuka Oval, so a more intimate ground.  The crowd attendance was 6,362.  Not too bad.

It was a hot afternoon, so ice cream was in order.  Mick does like is sprinkles…as do I.

Once the sun went down, we were treated to a gorgeous evening.  No sunset photo this time, as it was behind us.  Fortunately, we were sitting in the shade.  However, the sky was beautiful looking to the east.

Of course we had to take a selfie.

The Aussie girls batted first and did rather well, scoring 163.

At half time there was the requisite fireworks.

After the hot afternoon, it got surprisingly cool, as in we could have done with a cardy. That was not expected.

And the outcome…. We won!  That will make the third match in Adelaide the decider.  Fingers crossed we can win again.

It was a very enjoyable evening.
