That's a wrap for today's match! Thanks for tuning in. This is Rashad Mahbub, signing off on behalf of K Vairavan, Sudeep Poojar, and the entire ESPNcricinfo team. Goodbye and goodnight!

Player of the Match, Grace Harris "I just kind of thought it was a bit of a trickier wicket to start on, and then once you kind of get in a little bit, you can try and cash in at the back end. I thought that's what Deandra Dottin did really well in that first innings. And I can give myself just a couple. Amelia was probably a bit lazy between the wickets early, so I'll work on that to help my teammates out. But it was pretty good. I think the scoreboard kind of dictates it a little bit. You've got to make sure that you can stay within a couple of short touches of it. And I thought when we got to about needing 26 runs, and I thought we're pretty good now. We should probably free up. We've got wickets in hand; we kind of try and take the game on a little bit more. It's mainly just trying to go at game pace and trying to just stay in touch with the chase whilst keeping wickets. I was hoping for one of them to whip out a bat on actually. I just thought, please just get any bat on it. And we probably again just got sucked into trying to just milk the one, like, just hit across, but credit to Dottin. They nailed their Yorkers today. I thought their bowling performance wasn't actually too bad across the board. And I just think if they had a couple more runs on the board, that was probably going to be a much trickier chase. So credit to our bowlers, really, for taking the wickets. If you just keep enjoying your cricket, and I think we've been gelling quite well off the field as well. There's a long bus trip here, but it was fantastic to come and get the win, and I think we're just really enjoying how we're playing at the moment. So I don't know; just stay as is. I'm delighted with how I'm going at the moment. I think a lot of the principles that I've been working on within my game are paying off at the moment, and I hope to just continue that, I guess, and just keep summing up conditions and whenever I'm injected into the game, what impact I can kind of have. So I follow, and Dean chucks me the ball a little bit. I felt a bit more involved. So I can sometimes switch off a little bit just in the field, but I work on that as well. But yeah, I thought it was kind of really good feeling."

5:35 pm After a game filled with excitement, dropped catches, and twists, the London Spirit managed to win by the narrowest of margins. Thanks to Sarah Glenn and Grace Harris, the Spirit now have three wins from three matches. The London Spirit started their innings carefully on a tricky pitch. The first wicket fell when Redmayne tried to through the covers and was caught. In the very next over, Danielle Gibson was bowled by a fantastic googly from Amelia Kerr. The Originals had a chance to get another wicket when Beth Mooney missed a difficult stumping and catch against Chathli. Chathli and Harris began to rebuild the innings, but the opening batter was caught trying to hit a big shot and was out for 34. However, Grace Harris was brilliant, staying in until the very end and guiding her team to victory with an unbeaten 50 runs off 32 balls. A crucial cameo from Sarah Glenn at the end sealed the win for the London Spirit, extending their winning streak to six matches. Despite a valiant effort from the Manchester Originals, it just wasn't their day. Amelia Kerr and Bryce each took two wickets, with Kerr nearly turning the game around in the second-to-last set.

Raji: "In the last match, they were relying on Grace's golden arm with the ball -- now it's her batting they're counting on."
