Sampath confirms Originals need to win within 73 balls or fewer to stay in the comp. So expect from some fireworks, at least many attempts, in the chase. Deiva will be here to shepherd you through it. Enjoy.
Lauren Winfield-Hill: It's all gone to plan so far, but we've done half the job and need to clear it off. The back flares up from time to time. We need to learn what lengths to bowl from their lengths. It's nice to play with Suzie, we've enjoyed batting together and hope it continues. We're a team that won't be complacent, we will be ruthless. They will give chances and we need to take them. (On being asked if she'll field) I will be fielding (laughs)
4:05pm: A perfect first innings for Invincibles. The skip, Suzie Bates, led from the front with 79 with a red-ink. Kapp went with the flurry as expected. Winfield-Hill was good early on too, Capsey's scoring rate was good too. So they had a ball. The bowlers started well but Cross had a tough set at the end of the powerplay and the floodgates opened thereafter. Except Ecclestone, no bowler looked to have had much semblance of control on the flat deck.
