Durham can't tame Bears at the Riverside

Durham Women 162/5 (20) Bears 165/3 (18.2) Bears win by seven wickets
-
DURHAM suffered a fourth defeat in five Vitality Blast games as an excellent half-century from Nat Wraith led Bears Women to a seven-wicket win, despite a brilliant knock from Mady Villiers.
Durham's innings was the Villiers show as the all-rounder produced a classy knock (85* from 56 balls) after a couple of early blows from England's Issy Wong. She was well supported by Bess Heath as they made 162 for five from their 20.
Bears started their chase well, with their opening pair of Meg Austin and Davina Perrin putting on 62, but Katie Levick struck back with a pair of wickets. However, Wraith (56 from 37 balls) steered the ship and took Bears to a third win of the campaign.
Having won the toss and electing to bat at Banks Homes Riverside, Durham got off to a bad start as Wong bowled Suzie Bates for a three-ball duck in the opening over.
