8.40pm Momentum with the Scorchers, dare I say, although the Stars were excellent with the ball and in the field. King's three-for was great, Osborne's fielding was a sight to behold, Day and Sciver were excellent, and prima facie, it looks like Stars are the favourites irrespective of the late flourish from Glenn and Bolton. Batting is getting easier too because of the dew. Be back with the chase.

Hari: "Stars are pretty much like their male counterparts. Big name players and quality youngsters. With sixers out, I back them to win the title this year"

Sciver to Bolton, OUT, full outside off, and sliced to point. King collects, throws at the bowler, and she completes the run out. Scorchers make 125

NE Bolton run out 32 (25b 4x4 0x6) SR: 128.00

19.5

Sciver to Bolton, FOUR, back of a length, aiming at the helmet, and Bolton is up for the challenge. Goes deep, and pulled to the boundary
19.4

Sciver to Bolton, no run, misses the reverse sweep, although it was a length ball. She was trying to aim for the vacant-ish third man region. Cannot connect
19.3
4b
Sciver to Bolton, 4 byes, free runs! Full, outside leg, and she goes for the reverse sweep. But Bolton misses, so does the keeper, and the dewy ground assists the ball to race away for four
19.2
2
Sciver to Bolton, 2 runs, full outside off, and she throws her hands at this. Sliced over King at point
19.1

Sciver to Bolton, FOUR, what the Scorchers need as she plays the reverse sweep to this full ball, and finds the third-man gap

1
Day to Bolton, 1 run, full, and lofted past the bowler to long off
18.5
2
Day to Bolton, 2 runs, full on middle, and clobbered over the umpire, past Day's left hand. Protection in the deep but can't stop the second
18.4
W
Day to Bolton, 1 run, OUT, full on middle, and hammered to deep midwicket. She's committed for the second, but it could be dangerous. Day collects, dives to break the stumps... and that is another wicket. Carmichael run out for a second consecutive game, both times for one

M Carmichael run out 1 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 100.00

18.3
1
Day to Carmichael, 1 run, good length outside off, and cut. Fumble at backward point gets her off the mark
18.2
W
Day to Glenn, OUT, stumped? The Stars are confident. Full outside off, and Glenn tries to sweep, but she's out of the ground and the keeper Faltum was quick to grab and knock the stumps down. Handy cameo comes to an end

S Glenn st †Faltum b Day 19 (12b 2x4 0x6) SR: 158.33

Day to Glenn, no run, good length, outside off and spinning across. Misses the cut and keeper appeals for caught behind but the bowler did not appeal

Glenn going at a strike-rate of 190. Just what the Scorchers needed

1
Brunt to Glenn, 1 run, back of a length again, and pulled in the gap near deep backward square leg
17.5
4
Brunt to Glenn, FOUR, slower ball again, length on off, and Glenn stands tall and flat-bats it right over the infield. Glenn knows Brunt's trying to get those short balls and is sitting back for it
17.4
2
Brunt to Glenn, 2 runs, back of a length, slower ball, and clobbered from near her face to deep midwicket. Two more Team hundred too
17.3
2
Brunt to Glenn, 2 runs, edged over the keeper! Good length, on middle, and she goes for the leg side slog. Top edged, but enough to survive. Excellent work from the keeper running back to then stop it from going for four
17.2

Brunt to Bolton, 1 run, full on middle, and driven over Brunt. Protection at long on though
17.2

Brunt to Bolton, 1 wide, awry! Slower ball goes wrong. Full, and very wide down the leg side. Bolton wanted to sweep nonetheless
