Captain Stafanie Taylor’s Tornadoes Women have finished fifth in the FairBreak T20 Invitational after a 55-run win over Sapphires Women in the fifth-place playoff at the Kowloon Cricket Club in Hong Kong on Friday.

The West Indies all rounder top-scored with 24 to help the Tornadoes post 115-5 off their 20 overs. Sterre Kallis (19) and Aliya Riaz (19*) also had meaningful contributions. Pacer Shabnim Ismail took 2-8 off four overs for the Sapphires.

Winifred Duraisingam (3-8 off 2.2 overs), Sita Rana Magar (3-17 off four overs) and Chanida Sutthiruang (3-22 off four overs) then combined to restrict the Sapphires to a modest 60 all out in just 14.2 overs.
