Well, a game that was a money's worth for the 10,682 present at The Oval. But that is not all. The men's game between Invincibles and Originals not far off. You can hop over to follow the game ball by ball. That's all we have from this women's game. On behalf of our scorers, this is Sudarshanan signing off for the evening. Take care and ciao!

"I aged another ten years," says Invincibles captain Dane van Niekerk after the thrilling win. "We have an experienced batting line-up and [games like one against Welsh Fire] are one off. Glad we got the monkey off the back and got the win. Always easy when Capsey hits the balls like that. Made it easy for me. We let the pitch dictate what we do last game. I'd rather go out and take the game on, we [Capsey and DvN] completed each other. Felt the margins were small with the pace bowlers. Ryana came to me and said I am taking it away from Dottin's arc and that, for me, is maturity beyond her years."

Ryana MacDonald-Gay, Player of the Match: "To have experiences in competitions like these gives you an edge over the others. A new challenge to bowl in different stages."

5:45pm A fantastic win for Invincibles to get off the bottom of the pile. This is a victory in pure Invincibles style - bat well, bowl well and field fantastically well. And two young guns from England are the architects of their win today. If it was Capsey's blitz with the bat early on en route a fantastic half-century, MacDonald-Gay showed wisdom far beyond her years to hold her own with the ball and pick up a four-wicket haul. Never let the Originals batters get away, not even an on song Dottin. Invincibles move up to fifth, just behind Originals, and is this their true moment of arrival in the Hundred Women's Competition 2023?

Qhubokuhle: "That 6 and 4 from Van Nikierk before she got out looks vital now"

Gray to Threlkeld, 1 run, Fuller around off and middle, chops it off the inner half through forward square leg. Invincibles win by five!

Gray to Threlkeld, FOUR, Smacked and almost goes the distance! Length ball outside off, Threlkeld goes deep in her crease, gets low and hacks it across the line. Scholfield gets around from long-on puts in the dive to catch that but fails to reach it

1lb
Gray to Gaur, 1 leg bye, Huge appeal for lbw, perhaps sliding down. She looks to defend but gets it off the front pad to the off side. Van Niekerk wants to have another look, opts for the review. Missing the stumps

Mahika Gaur is the last woman in. Runs in with her helmet in one hand and the gloves on the other. Invincibles players have their hands up in the air, as Gaur takes her time to get set

W
Gray to George, OUT, Excellent tumbling take at cover and Originals are on the brink. Full and outside off, George looks to go over cover. MacDonald-Gay takes a couple of steps to her right at covers and hangs on
