Sterre Kalis, Match Hero: It was obviously a tough start; the pitch was doing quite a bit. When I got in, it was a tough situation because we'd lost some early wickets. But Perry and I rebuilt, and I thought it was a good score on that pitch. It was definitely the kind of surface where, once you got in, it became a bit easier to score. In the end, it was a brilliant win. Look, we had to play really good cricket to defend a low-ish total, and we knew early wickets were going to be key and we got them. All the girls did really well. Obviously, it's been a bit of a tough campaign for us but what we can do now is play our best cricket and today, we showed what kind of team we are. It was a brilliant effort
This is second-lowest total successfully defended in women's Hundred
It was a dominant day for Birmingham Phoenix. Finally, everything fell into place for them. It was a low-ish total but the recovery after early stutter was remarkable, as Perry and Kalis added 55 and 43 respectively, helping put 111/3 on the board. A little too late, perhaps, but they lived up to the billing and the big names came to the party. Huge credit to the pair who stitched together a match-winning stand and the entire team was lifted by that herculean effort. It wasn't easy to break the stranglehold and weather the early storm though. Something to rejoice for Phoenix before they end their campaign
