The Superchargers are now at the top of the table. That brings us to the end of this game, but there's a lot more Hundred action stil going on. In a short while, we'll have the men's teams taking on each other at this venue.
Alice Davidson-Richards: It was unbelievable. The amount of times we played that scenario, and when it comes off, bloody hell. Oh sorry (laughs). It was quite a hard wicket to bat on, I don't think anyone properly middled the ball. It was just a case of batting on. At the innings break (we thought) it was a bit under, would have wanted 120.
5 pm: The Superchargers have defended a meagre total of 109. The Invincibles will not enjoy looking back at that chase. Both sides' batting largely lacked any sort of fluency. No timing or power behind the shots. Pace off the ball worked well, but it was still a much below-par batting show. Superchargers are at the top of the table now.

Davidson-Richards to Villiers, 1 run, she can only punch a length ball to cover, and the Superchargers have won by four runs. Incredible win.
6 needed off the last ball to win. It'll be a miracle if they get it.

Davidson-Richards to Bryce, OUT, she's caught at long-on. The fielder was standing well in, and she had a big heave at it. Can't get any power or timing behind it and can't clear the fielder. It's Heath, who had dropped a catch that seemed crucial earlier in the game.

Davidson-Richards to van Niekerk, 1 run, can't get it away, length ball with pace off, she was backing away the bowler followed, and she can only slap it to cover

Davidson-Richards to van Niekerk, 2 runs, very short, keeps low, she's making a lot of room, swipes it straight back. Long-off cuts it off but they hare back for the second

Davidson-Richards to Bryce, 1 run, yorker, but she was making room and ends up swiping to deep midwicket. There's a possible two on offer but they hesitate a bit. Might want van Niekerk on strike anyway
10 needed from the final 5.

Smith to van Niekerk, 1 leg bye, goes for the sweep, having moved well across, big appeal but I think that struck outside the line. The ball goes to short third man and they take a single. Review taken. They have to take it at this stage. No bat on that but impact is well outside the line.
