The fast bowlers started strong, targeting areas to limit scoring shots before the spinners got to work.
Samantha Devlin was the pick of the bowlers with 5/22 off her 10 while Jannatul Sumona was extremely economic with figures of 3/13 off her 10. Parramatta were eventually bowled out for 88 after 43.2 overs.
Bankstown knew a strong start was important to chase down this total to give them the best chance at double bonus points.
A couple of great cameos from Jade Errington (14) and Dharmini Chauhan (16), partnered by a very composed 38 not out from Angelina Genford, saw Bankstown get home in the 23rd over, securing the two bonus points in the process.
