Charlotte Edwards Cup: Heather Graham leads Blaze to sixth straight win

Australia all-rounder Heather Graham took 4-10 on her debut for The Blaze as the East Midlands side maintained their 100% Charlotte Edwards Cup record, sweeping Western Storm aside by seven wickets.

Graham, who has replaced South Africa’s Nadine De Klerk in the Blaze line-up with the latter on international duty, led an impressive bowling display, backed up by off-spinner Lucy Higham (2-18) as Storm were dismissed for 99 at Leicester.

The home side knocked off their 100-run target with 35 balls to spare, thanks mainly to Scotland internationals Kathryn Bryce (46) and sister Sarah (37 not out), with Graham capping her afternoon by hitting the winning boundary.

The Blaze, whose only defeat in last year’s competition was by Southern Vipers in the final, now have six wins from six and top the table ahead of South East Stars, keeping them firmly on track for a return to Finals Day.

Meanwhile, defending champions Vipers climbed to third place as they comfortably saw off Lancashire Thunder by seven wickets at Emirates Old Trafford.
