Laura Wolvaardt (Hero of the Match, Manchester Originals Women)- "I feels great! It wasn't the easiest of the surfaces to bat on and the ball wasn't really coming on to the bat early on. I decided to play myself in as I knew that we had a lot of batters to come later on who could play the big shots. "
