9:09pm Twenty-six runs off the last eight balls means that Warriorz have something to bowl at. Their innings went nowhere. There was a semblance of hope with Deepti and Chetry setting a platform. But Mishra's middle-over burst punctured them and left them reeling. Till the last two overs allowed them to cross 140. Giants should be confident of chasing it down but Warriorz do have the ammunition to challenge them. There is the spin King and the king (queen) of T20Is, Ecclestone, the No. 1-ranked bowler. Srinidhi will be back shortly with the chase, don't go too far

Priya Mishra: "Feels good. The idea was to go for wickets. I did not change much. Focused on my basics. Did not think much. They had told me to go for wickets and not change my mindset, since I am a wicket-taking bowler. [Favourite wicket] Deepti Sharma, because she is my friend. I am short in height, so my coach asked me to become a spinner. I thought if I had to hit the toes, might as well become a legspinner!"

Gardner to Thakor, 1 run, OUT, Tossed up outside off, skies the sweep towards backward square leg. They hare back for the non-existent second. Shaikh fires a flat throw to Mooney, who does the rest. Warriorz finish on 143 for 9, a total they will be satisfied with given where they were

Gardner to Thakor, 1 wide, Once again wide not given! She moves across and looks to paddle it fine. The umpire stays unmoved. King is aware that they can review these and Thakor signals for it. Thakor is already outside off, Gardner fires it down leg. The TV umpire looks at UltraEdge to rule out the edge. Then asks for the split-screen vision and finally rules that it is a wide
