83 for Spirit to end Phoenix's campaign and not end up eighth. The situation set up has Phoenix needing to rise back from the ashes which would be cool but it seems unlikely. What is more definitively cool is Ashish will be here to call the chase. Enjoy.

Meghan Schutt says they've been excellent with the ball and on the field, something they hadn't been able to do thus far. She feels the pitch has improved a bit for batting and this score should be chased down.

4:10pm: Spirit have a gala time as they walk back. Their fielding might be a highlight for the tournament as they have skittled Phoenix. Get your house of cards and car-crash analogies in because this innings was a disaster. Freya Davies got Mollineux, who was promoted, early. Schutt got Amy Jones and Ellyse Perry in back-to-back balls. From thereon, it was a procession. The runout of Devine was huge, the catches by Dean and Monaghan were scintillating. Eve Jones and Georgia Elwiss provided some resistance but none close to enough.

Kerr to Davies, OUT, Goes for another switch hit, gets a top edge and it's taken at backward point! This was on a length, it was just outside off. The line was right but the length, too short for the shot. Taken easily by Monaghan as she flips around.

Kerr to Davies, FOUR, Turns early for the switch hit, gets a slow, full ball and it goes off the bottom into the ground through the gap to the right of short third for four.

Umanga: "Phoenix were playing well and top of the table a week ago now they are on the verge of elimination the couple of games they have lost they have been really poor."

Davies to Fackrell, 1 run, OUT, Slogged, it lands in the empty space at the midwicket outfield. They charge back for two, the throw is flat at the striker's end. There was hesitation from Fackrell and that costs her! She's short and Phoenix are nine down! Spirit are having a party in the middle!

Gibson to Arlott, OUT, Pulled, it goes up, there's an assist at long-on and it's eventually taken! Dattani ran to her left at first, the ball wobbled in her hand but and she went over the ropes but lobbed it back up just in time to Monaghan who comes in and takes it. That was a shortish ball that sat up and hit well until it was intercepted by another brilliant catch!

Scrivens to E Jones, OUT, Stunner taken by Dean at midwicket! She leapt up, it was going up over her left, she adjusted late, managed to search for it and pluck it. The ball was on a length, Jones came down the ground and looked to slog it over wide mid-on, got it off the bottom and almost cleared the infield. Spirit, as expected, are delighted.
