Will be one heck of a chase if Phoenix get it. Chase starting soon.

Grace Harris, 87* off 47: Yeah, I think it's about time I showed up for this competition, isn't it? But if I'm gonna be honest, actually, I had Heather Knight bless my bat before I walked out to bat today, so I'm gonna have to get her to do that more often I've broken my favourite ones in Big Mac and Zinger stacker so I've got Zinger burger out today and well, it has a middle so I'm glad I found it. But um, yeah, just been tinkering with a few of the bats out in the middle and see which one I liked the best. So I think I'll stick with that. For those wondering, she's named her bats after burgers.

4:11pm: Carnage but not without very smart batting from Harris. She was instrumental in lifting Spirit to the second highest total in women's hundred. Paul Muchmore adds that Harris' innings is the second-highest individual score of the season. Harris says it was a true wicket with the ball coming on nicely. She adds that the slower balls from the pacers were bouncing a bit extra and were tougher to hit. She got good support from Kerr, who was proactive. Ghosh got a couple of good hits but Harris didn't get much of the strike during that stand. Maybe that allowed her to save some power at the end. The bowlers had a hard time, especially in the powerplay, where the boundaries flew. Wong getting just a set, where she went for 16, is a worry. Levick and Arlott did well in the middle overs. But they all had a tough time with Harris in form.

Dan: "Ghosh took up a bit too much of the strike for my liking. With how well Harris has batted, it should be a case of getting her on strike as much as possible (in the 21 balls since coming in, Ghosh faced 15). "
