12.42pm The Welsh Fire need 104 to win and have a great opportunity to ensure they finish on No. 1 on the points table and secure a place in the final directly. For that, they have to win swiftly too to bump up their NRR. But Southern Brave will be delighted at reaching 103, something that looked very far away when they were 47/7. Tryon dazzled with Southby to ensure their score is kinda respectable, but otherwise, a forgettable batting performance from the home side.

As for the Fire bowlers, experience came to the fore. Matthews with a four-for, Ismail with the early wicket of Mandhana, Jonassen with 3-21 and Davies with 2-14. See you on the other side for the chase, which will be led by Himanshu Agrawal.

john glover: "Welsh Fire congratulating themselves already - possibly premature ?" -- possibly, but they are a side high on confidence while Southern Brave are searching everywhere for inspiration.

Davies to Bell, OUT, Southern Brave are all out for 103! Davies finishes with 2-14. Full ball just outside off, and that's been tonked well, but Ismail at mid-off sticks her hands up over her head, and the ball sticks!
