Scorpions out to forge own dynasty

South Australia are dreaming of a dynasty of their own after claiming their maiden Women's National Cricket League title by ending the NSW Breakers' 10-year reign.

Their 54-run win in Sunday's 50-overs final meant the Lend Lease Breakers failed to match rugby league's St George Dragons for most consecutive titles in a major Australian sporting league with an 11th.

The Breezair Scorpions' victory was set up - on and off the field - by star England batter Sarah Taylor and former NSW Breakers pace bowler Sarah Coyte, who made the move south this season.

Taylor's brilliant 110 off 105 balls in SA's score of 7-264 meant NSW required the second-highest successful run chase in the competition's history to retain the trophy.

And Coyte's full-length straight bowling with a tight-set field proved to be the Breakers' kryptonite.

Her early eight-over spell which conceded just 10 runs built pressure that had big guns Alex Blackwell (6), Alyssa Healy (37) and Ellyse Perry (20) all dismissed in the middle overs while chasing quick runs as NSW were dismissed with four over remaining.

"The reign has come to an end, so it's exciting to be a part of that," said Coyte, who won her sixth consecutive WNCL title.

The presence of Taylor and Coyte helped give SA belief they could make up for last year's final loss, lessening the aura of the hosts.

"They were a brilliant unit when we were arrived, but as soon as Coytie and I walked into the side we weren't worried what NSW were doing," Taylor told AAP.

"Their streak wasn't even mentioned, we didn't even know, I didn't know about it."

Beyond Taylor's century, which highlighted the globe-trotting in modern day women's cricket, it was the strength of the youth which gave both sides hope for the future.

All but four members of the SA squad are under the age of 24, while the way 18-year-old Amanda Wellington captured the prized wickets of Perry and English international Laura Marsh in consecutive balls highlighted their hopes for the future.

"We were talking about it as team, yes, NSW has won 10 but that's ended now," Coyte said.

"I guess it's someone else's turn, so why can't it be our turn?

"They've had a young group and I've come into that now and hopefully this team will stay together for a long time and just build on what we've done this year."

Seventeen-year-old Lauren Cheatle (2-44) was the pick of the bowlers for NSW and 20-year-old Naomi Stalenberg also bludgeoned 58 off 38 balls to give the Breakers a late faint hope.

"I still think we're a very dominant cricket team," said Breakers captain Blackwell.

"There's no reason why we can't be winning a final next year and maybe playing these guys again.

"It's not all doom and gloom, we're very pleased with what we've achieved. It's very hard to continue winning and to do 10 in a row is something to be very proud of."
