6.20pm It's a double-header tonight, in case you needed reminding. We've begun our coverage of the men's game between these two sides, so pop over there to continue your evening's thrills and spills. It's goodbye from me, Hemant and Chandan, though. We hope you've enjoyed our coverage.
Sophie Molineux is the Player of the Match. "It was a great game," she says. "They kept taking it to us, and credit to their batting order, they kept coming at us, and we did well to hold our nerve. I try not to think too much. Simple plans, I go back to that, and try to control my breathing and so forth. [Amy Jones and co] were awesome at the top, it sent a message to us that there's a platform there and we can try to kick on. We're in great spirits, it's a great group, I'm really loving it here."
6.12pm Phoenix win by five runs, and move to the top of the table with three wins in three games, and a better net run rate than the Southern Braves. Excellent all-round performance, with Amy Jones and Sophie Molineux shining brightest as they kept a spirited Superchargers side at bay. Molineux was particularly outstanding, conceding just two runs off her first 15 balls - no runs in her first two sets - and this while Alyssa Healy was threatening to win the match all by herself against the other bowlers.
Jenny Gunn is the new batter.
